 Boyle Heights:
Recollections and Remembrances of the Boyle Heights Jewish Community in Los Angeles,

1920s- 1960s

Over 80 different "ex-citizens" of Boyle Heights take us on a tour of memories through this unique area of Los Angeles at a very special time. Walk with them down Brooklyn Avenue.. Smell the aromas of the bakeries and the delis. Visit Hollenbeck Jr. High and Roosevelt High School and their many remembered teachers and principals. Watch the movies at the Meralta, the Joy and other theaters. Have an ice cream cone at Curries or a corn beef sandwich at Canter Bros.

Find old friends and places in our large, extensive Index. Enjoy many group pictures from clubs, teams and special events with most of the children and young adults identified.

If you grew up in Boyle Heights, this 320+ page book is a must. It is also the perfect gift for a parent or relative whose Los Angeles roots began in Boyle Heights.
