Land of Promise
The Jewish Experience in Southern Alberta 1889 - 1945.
Copyright 1996
by the Jewish Historical Society of Southern Alberta (JHHSA)
Photographs copyright by the providers identified
in or near the descriptive captions.
While Land of Promise does not claim to be a
comprehensive, definitive history, it does
endeavour to provide a vivid overview of the
Jewish experience in Southern Alberta shortly
before and during the early decades of the 20th
century. Although not all families or individuals
are included, the book covers a wide field based on
photographs and family histories supplied by
members of the Jewish community in response
to an appeal by the JHHSA. Much of the content
originally appeared in the successful travelling
exhibit also entitled Land of Promise.
