A detailed examination of the response of Jewish communities in New York City and Boston to overt and increasingly politicized antisemitism during the late 1930's through the 1940's. "This study begins by describing the incidents of overt anti-Semitism in two specific places at a particular time, and by investigating the Jewish response to them. This is followed by evaluation of the role of public opinion within the Boston and New York Jewish communities and that of the non-Jewish press in pressuring Mayor LA Guardia of New York City and Governor Saltonstall of Massachusetts to take action against the assaults on Jewish children.
