Michael Grunberger joined the staff of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2006, after more than twenty years at Library of Congress. 2004 marked the 350th anniversary of the arrival of Jews in America. Among the contributors were: Hasia Diner, Leonard Dinnerstein, Eli Evans, Eli Faber, Deborah Moore, Pamela Nadel, Peggy Pearlstein, Jonathan Sarna, Jeffrey Shandler, Jack Wertheimer, and Step[hen Whitfield. From Haven to Home brings together an eminent group of Judaic scholars who take stock of American Jewish life, from the arrival of the first small group in Manhattan in 1654 to the present. The contributors examine a wide range of topics, including the early history of the American Jewish community and the various significant phases of Jewish immigration, which saw the initial group of twenty-three burgeon into a thriving community of several million by the early twentieth century. Also addressed is the role of Jews in the Civil War and in World War II, anti-Semitism in America, the daily life and struggles of American Jewish women, and American Jews and politics. The essays are amply illustrated with items from the collection of the Library of Congress's Hebraic Section, among them the first Hebrew bible printed in America and the first Yiddish American cookbook, as well as selections of photographs, prints, diaries, maps, and sheet music. Central to the Jewish experience in America is that country's commitment to ideals of freedom, opportunity, religious liberty, equality, and pluralism. The continuity of the faith, in fact, depends on it. From Haven to Home, the story of Jews in America is therefore also the story of America and American ideals.
