Summary
Annotation. "Following his death at age eighty-three, it was discovered that for over three decades Yaacov Zipper had kept a journal. Providing a first-hand account of the Yiddish-speaking immigrants who gave Montreal some of its unique vibrancy, the journals offer an invaluable description of an era that saw the community transformed from a raw immigrant population clustered in the working class neighbourhoods along "the Main" to a largely English-speaking society living in the new middle class districts in the western reaches of the city. Replete with compelling character sketches of many of Montreal's Jewish leaders, Zipper's diary provides a personal account of Montreal's post-World War II years."--BOOK JACKET.
