The Golden Age of Jewish Achievement explores two questions. Are Jews disproportionately high achievers? And if they are, why?
The first is answered with 61 compelling exhibits, covering Nobel prizes to Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame awards, Pulitzers to chess champions, philanthropy to Supreme Court justices and much more. None can study these facts and not be astonished by all that Jews have achieved and contributed over the last 200 years.
The more intriguing question may be "Why has this happened?" Through fascinating stories, such as "Lev Leviev and the Soviet Jews" and "The Jazz Singer," The Golden Age illustrates the life and circumstances of hundreds of remarkable Jews before concluding with theriveting "Why?"
