Comments and praise for Prairie Perspectives: Our Jewish Veterans Remember World War II:
"Mazal Tov to the JHSUM on their new publication, “Our Jewish Veterans Remember World War II.” The vivid, candid and emotional narrative transports the reader back into a time where much was at stake and so many rose to meet the challenge. I was moved by the patriotism, sense of Jewish pride and pragmatic strength exhibited by our community’s veterans. This Prairie Perspective is a wonderful testament to our friends and relatives whose values and deeds continue to inspire us today."
Joshua M. Fogelson Chief Executive Officer Minneapolis Jewish Federation
"Many thanks for Prairie Perspectives: Our Jewish Veterans Remember World War II, a really terrific book. It made me proud of my dad (all over again) and all the young Jewish men of the upper Midwest who helped save the world. Thanks to you for such a fine and touching work."

“You and your associates did a magnificent job in putting the journal together…you made everyone proud to be part of the Jewish Historical Society. Mazel Tov.
