The Jewish People's Almanac"Long before Schindler's List became an Academy Award-winning movie, David C. Gross recognized the import of Oskar Schindler's story and included it among the entries in The Jewish People's Almanac. Also featured in the almanac are well-known American Jewish personalities like Harpo Marx and Sammy Davis, Jr., as well as influential Jewish figures and communities worldwide - from a Jew who "saved" the Chinese Revolution to Mexico's Indian Jews to a Jewish Kingdom that ruled southern Russia."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
