Filled with original documents and vintage illustrations, this chronicles the lives of the Hart family - a Jewish family who settled in predominantly Catholic Trois-Rivières, Quebec, in 1761. Following Aaron Hart and his descendants for a century, this account not only bares the Jewish struggle for equality and freedom, but also delineates the contributions made by the various family members. A fascinating and comprehensive read, this breaks new ground in its examination of the Jewish experience in North America.
