This issue, which also celebrates the 40th anniversary of the JHS, marks the work of a new editor, Aimee Ergas. A JHS member for eight years, Ergas succeeds Judith Levin Cantor, a former JHS presi- dent, who has curated historical exhibitions at museums in Michigan. "I think we cover a wide variety of topics, and I find the book sec- tion very satisfying because I'm a book person," says Ergas, former assistant editor for the Institute for Continuing Legal Education. "The journal is an amazing publi- cation considering that it is put together through the knowledge, wisdom, time and effort of volunteer writers, historians and aficionados of local Jewish history." U.S. District Court Judge Avern Cohn, of the Eastern District of Michigan, traces political activity from the 1850s to the 1950s. In another article, Alan Kandel, a member of the History and Archives Committee of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, details the initiatives of Henry Ford II in coun- tering the anti-Semitic acts of his grandfather. The issue also presents articles about a school named for a Jewish journalist, recent achievements of Jewish leaders, including Joel Tauber and Peggy Daitch, and new books with religious themes. "We have many sources for sub- jects, and we do a certain amount of detective work," Ergas says. Copies of Michigan Jewish History are distributed to members of the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan and area libraries. For information on library loca- tions, call (248) 661-7706. J Here's To.
