Scope and Contents
The interviews with Jews in Utah collection [transcripts] (1982-1988) is part of a project funded by the Utah Endowment for the Humanities and undertaken by the Oral History Institute of Salt Lake City, Utah. The goal of the project was to conduct interviews with members of ethnic minorities in Utah and document the degree to which ethnic cultures have been impacted by the greater Utah culture. These interviews were conducted between 1982 and 1986 by Leslie Kelan and Lorraine Ferra. Events recalled by the interviewees span the time period from the 1880s to 1986. Common themes include family life, immigration, relations with the LDS community, religious activity, the unification of the congregations Montefiore and B'nai Israel, Jewish businesses and organizations, and World War II.
