The 20, 000 German Jews who fled Hitler's Germany and settled in Washington Heights were unusual in many ways. They preserved their Jewish identity while fostering a culture that was still heavily German-a difficult combination in light of their origins. In his study of this immigrant group, Steven Lowenstein strives for more that a chronicle of their institutions and leaders. He analyzes both the social structure of the community and the folk culture of the immigrants. He deals with such issues as the formal nature of German Jewish cultural style, the relationships between the generations, and intergroup relations. Using organizational bulletins, surveys, interviews, and personal observations and anecdotes, Lowenstein paints a picture of a unique lifestyle now in the process of merging into American Jewry and disappearing. 606 $aJews, German$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aImmigrants$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aOrthodox Judaism$zNew York (State)$zNew York 607 $aWashington Heights (New York, N.Y.)$xEthnic relations 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xEthnic relations 615 0$aJews, German 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aOrthodox Judaism 676 $a305.8/924/7471 700 $aLowenstein$b Steven M.$f1945-$0227449 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967309203321 996 $aFrankfurt on the Hudson$94369086 997 $aUNINA
