This review is from: Christians Only: A Study in Prejudice (Civil liberties in American history) (Paperback)
"Christians Only" shows how all-encompassing anti-Jewish prejudice was in the 1930s: not just in elite law firms and country clubs, but in universities and in all manner of jobs. Even Jews sometimes discriminated against Jews: for example, Jewish-owned brokerage firms might limit opportunities for Jewish customers.The book is as amusing as it is horrifying: one of the amusing stories, for example, is of a Jew named Louis Goldstein who sought to Anglicize his name. Unfortunately for him, his petition for a name change came up before -- Judge Louis Goldstein. (The petition was denied). |
