In 1950, two million Jews comprised a quarter of New York City’s population. Most lived in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods, careful to avoid making waves, balancing ambition and optimism with a wariness that served to shield their children, a generation of war babies and post-war boomers, from much of the unabashed anti-Semitism that was an intrinsic part of mid-century American life. Join one of them, retired journalist Edward Hershey, as he shares both humorous and sobering recollections of his upbringing. His memoir, “The Scorekeeper,” was a finalist for the 2018 Oregon Book Award.
