Notes:
Compares the predominantly northern history (New York and surroundings) of anti-desertion efforts among Jewish immigrants in the early 20th century with records from the Hebrew Orphans Home in Atlanta, which served a five-state area in the Southeast, exploring the ways in which regional differences influenced the character and tone of Jewish benevolent uplift.
