Hardcover: $35.00
ISBN: 978-0-8419-1367-7
Why did New York City, the largest center of Jewish culture and home to more survivors than any other city in the United States, take more than half a century to finalize plans for its Holocaust memorial? Rochelle Saidel offers a detailed analysis of how local power brokers, real estate developers, major political players, and various groups within the national Jewish community   influenced the memorial's progress from 1947 until the Museum of Jewish Heritage finally opened in 1997 on the shore of the Hudson River.
Rochelle G. Saidel is founder and executive director of the Remember Women Institute in New York City, and author or editor of six books on the Holocaust, including The Jewish Women of Ravensbrück Concentration Camp, a National Jewish Book Awards finalist. She was awarded the prestigious National Foundation for Jewish Culture Musher Publication Prize in 1994 for her work on Never Too Late To Remember.
