Overview
Everyday Heroic Lives is a new collection of the works of longtime Chicago Jewish Historical Society president Walter Roth. Everyday Heroic Lives tells fascinating tales of Chicago Jewish heroes. This volume contains some portraits of Jews who played significant roles in Chicago's historic meatpacking industry, from the points of view of both labor and capital, as well as portraits of lawyers, scholars, and participants in significant constitutional law cases. The book also contains some of the author's book and theater reviews first published in the Chicago Jewish History quarterly. There are also stories of Roth's family making their way as refugees in Chicago in the 1930s and 1940s. Some of the featured heroes are Abner Mikva, Leon Despres, Nelson Morris, Walter Mander, Rosika Schwimmer, and David and Miriam Canter.
