Publisher's Note The Silver Candelabra and Other Stories offers a poignant and revealing look at the Jewish experience in Argentina. Twelve authors present the struggle to create an identity for themselves in a new country and maintain it through successive generations. The inclusion of a preface by Darrell B. Lockhart and an extensive bibliography make this anthology an excellent academic resource and ideal for classroom use.
