A landmark book documenting Jewish history in Washington state has just been updated and reissued in a revised edition by the Washington State Jewish Historical Society.
The first edition of “Family of Strangers” was written by Howard Droker, Jaqueline Williams, and the late Molly Cone and was originally published in 2003. Well-researched and ambitious in scope and scape, the book is several hundred pages in length, and is a comprehensive history of Jewish people and organizations and businesses in what’s now Washington from the 1850s to about 1970.
Along with updates to the core of the book and the addition of the new epilogue, there’s one significant change visible right on the front cover. Still, Eskenazi says, people still have a desire to congregate around their shared values and elements of history that all Jewish people have in common. “If we’ve learned nothing in the last couple of years, we’ve learned that history is very important, and the history and educating people of what happened in an area that you’ve just moved to is pretty important,” Kranseler told KIRO Newsradio. “Because they are bringing their own ideas here, and that’s fantastic.
One of his favorite stories is about a Jewish woman named Janet Hanrahan, who moved from San Diego to Bainbridge Island in the 1980s. Similar things happened in other communities, such as Vancouver, Washington, as waves of migration, whether refugees from the former Soviet Union 1980s and 1990s, or more recent new tech workers from all over the world, have continued to draw Jewish people to the Evergreen State.
