Most belonged to a Communist Party focused on the antifascist goals of the Popular Front and faithful to the internationalist idea of erasing ethnicity, including Jewish ethnicity. \u003cp\u003e Joseph Butwin’s oral history presents conversations with ten Jewish veterans of the ALB. Recorded from 1992–94 in the wake of European communism’s collapse, the interviews explore the milieus that formed the volunteers. Immigrants established the secular Yiddish-speaking socialism that became a part of many Jewish American communities. Their children, reacting to economic depression and the rise of fascism, enlisted in the ALB. Butwin follows their stories from their youthful motives and choices through their lives as Jews and leftists, and records the reckonings that took place as they reflected on their past. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Insightful and revealing, \u003ci\u003eSalud y Shalom\u003c\/i\u003e explores the forces of identity and history that led young Jewish leftists to fight fascism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Preface \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e George Watt \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Celia Seborer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ed Bender \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sana Goldblatt \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bill Susman \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Irving Weissman \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Abe Smorodin \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Saul Wellman \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Abe Osheroff \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ed Lending \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Epilogue \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Appendix \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Notes \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Index \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523558830360,"sku":"9780252088629","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/salud-y-shalom-conversations-with-jewish-veterans-of-the-abraham-lincoln-brigade-paperback-softback-9780252088629","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
