Squirrel Hill : the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting and the soul of a neighborhood / Mark Oppenheimer. by Oppenheimer, Mark, 1974- Alfred A. Knopf, 2021. Call #: 305.8924073 O62s Subjects Tree of Life - Or L'Simcha Congregation (Pittsburgh, Pa.)   Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting, Pittsburgh, Pa., 2018.   Antisemitism -- Pennsylvania -- Pittsburgh.   Squirrel Hill (Pittsburgh, Pa.) -- Ethnic relations. ISBN:  9780525657194 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  300 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-281) and index. Summary:  "Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh is one of the oldest Jewish neighborhoods in the country, known for its tight-knit community and the profusion of multi-generational families. On October 27, 2018, a gunman killed eleven Jews who were worshipping at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill--the most deadly anti-Semitic attack in American history. Many neighborhoods would be understandably subsumed by despair and recrimination after such an event, but not this one. Mark Oppenheimer poignantly shifts the focus away from the criminal and his crime, and instead presents the historic, spirited community at the center of this heartbreak. He speaks with residents and nonresidents, Jews and gentiles, survivors and witnesses, teenagers and seniors, activists and historians. Together, these stories provide a kaleidoscopic and nuanced account of collective grief, love, support, and revival. But Oppenheimer also details the difficult dialogue and messy confrontations that Squirrel Hill had to face in the process of healing, and that are a necessary part of true growth and understanding in any community. He has reverently captured the vibrancy and caring that still characterize Squirrel Hill, and it is this phenomenal resilience that can provide inspiration to any place burdened with discrimination and hate."--From publisher.
