"The Szolds of Lombard Street tells a story of a rabbinic home in Baltimore in the second half of the nineteenth century. In part, it is the story of the growth of the American Jewish community at the time when immigration from eastern Europe presented tremendous problems of adjustment and acculturation. It is also the touching, moving, poignant story of five daughters of the house, with their hopes and dreams realized or disappointed. It is the story of an American Jewish family at t he beginning of an era."
