The Jews of Key West
Author: Arlo Haskell
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780984331277
Category : HISTORY
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. History. 2017 Florida Book Award, Phillip and Dana Zimmerman Gold Medal for Florida Nonfiction. The dramatic story of South Florida's oldest Jewish community and a major addition to the history of this unique island city. Long before Miami was on the map, Key West had Florida's largest economy and an influential Jewish community. Jews who settled here as peddlers in the nineteenth century joined a bilingual and progressive city that became the launching pad for the revolution that toppled the Spanish Empire in Cuba. As dozens of local Jews collaborated with José Martí's rebels, they built relationships that supported thriving Jewish communities in Key West and Havana at the turn of the twentieth century. During the 1920s, when anti-immigration hysteria swept the United States, Key West's Jews resisted the immigration quotas and established "the southernmost terminal of the Jewish underground," smuggling Jewish aliens in small boats across the Florida Straits to safety in Key West. But these and other Jewish exploits were kept secret as Ku Klux Klan leaders infiltrated local law enforcement and government. Many Jews left Key West during the 1930s and their stories were ignored or forgotten by the mythmakers that reinvented Key West as a tourist mecca. Arlo Haskell's THE JEWS OF KEY WEST is an entertaining and authoritative account of Key West's Jewish community from 1823-1969. Illustrated with over 100 images, it brings to life a history that had long been forgotten.

Book Description
Enjoy the season's spirit as these women find lasting happiness just in time for Christmas. Each stand alone book tells the complete story from meeting to happy ever after. From cops to cowboys, doctors to journalists to billionaires, each brings that special something to the relationship. The Cowboy’s Special Christmas Left at the altar, veterinarian Jennifer moves a thousand miles away from the heartache and embarrassment. She’ll focus on her new practice, make a few friends and forget about trusting her heart again. Cole Martin was furious when he discovered his fiancée was seeing other men. Once burned, twice shy. When Cole and Jennifer meet, it’s like at first sight. But can this relationship forge ahead with all the heartache lingering from the past? A Teaspoon of Mistletoe Annie Tolliver is happy as could be living in the small town of Lamberton, Montana. Once she had the chance to marry but it meant leaving Lamberton. Love didn’t prove strong enough. Doctors Without Borders Nick Keller’s back in the states for Christmas. When he begins to explore the small town his cousin lives in, he’s charmed with the activities, the people and one very special person. Getting involved wasn’t the plan for either Annie or Nick, but sometimes things happen for a reason. Can a stay-at-home woman give up everything to follow a foot-loose man to the ends of the earth? The Christmas Cop Tough homicide detective Jake Morgan was a bah, humbug kind of guy. Getting injured in the line of duty wasn’t the worst thing that could have happened to him—no, it was being assigned as the police department’s Christmas Cop while he recovers. He wasn’t one to deliver any feel-good feelings with kids. He had no idea what kids wanted for Christmas. And he sure to goodness didn’t want to be paired with a pink-hair, do-gooder who looked more like a kid herself than a software engineer. When Shea O’Reilly is paired up with the man most likely to win the exact-opposite-of-Christmas-spirit award, she’s thrown. It’s her favorite holiday. And her best day would be to make a bunch of kids happy. How can she manage that with the disgruntled Mr. Scrooge she’ll be working with? A Key West Christmas Shelly Alexander started a new life in Key West which she loves. When her former boss arrives unexpectedly and insists on spending time with her, she’s thrilled. Until the real reason he’s there is revealed. Embarrassed that she thought more was going on, she runs away too hurt to see him again. Billionaire Beau Charlmers left the frenetic New York society to buy a sail boat to sail around the world. While in the Caribbean he stops in Key West to see his former assistant. Getting to know her on a personal level is entirely different from the work relationship they had. Still, it should make it easier for her to agree to his newest plan. Only somewhere along the way everything changes. When Shelly refuses to see him again, he realizes what he really wants is Shelly. But to get her to fall in love now would take a Christmas miracle. Christmas is the time for family, friends and love. Download your copy of CHRISTMAS SHORT AND SWEET and may all your days be merry and bright!
