"What brings to life To Stand Aside or Stand Alone is its human dimension, catching the rabbis in the fullness of their beings." -- The American Jewish Archives Journal "No one who is interested in this subject will henceforth be able to understand the full picture without consulting To Stand Aside or Stand Alone . Rabbi Krause is to be commended for conducting the interviews so thoughtfully and for laboring to bring them to light in their complete form, and Bauman and the younger Krause are to be applauded for seeing the work to its conclusion in such a professional and instructive manner." -- Southern Jewish History " To Stand Aside or Stand Alone will provide the English-speaking world with a documentary treasure trove that is, to the best of my knowledge, sui generis." --Gary Phillip Zola, author of Isaac Harby of Charleston, 1788-1828: Jewish Reformer and Intellectual and coeditor of A Place of Our Own: The Rise of Reform Jewish Camping, "No one who is interested in this subject will henceforth be able to understand the full picture without consulting To Stand Aside or Stand Alone .

Now, fifty years later, transcripts of these precious interviews have finally been unsealed. The results--some of them explosive, some disturbing, and all of them illuminating--form the core of this book. It makes a unique contribution." --Jonathan D. Sarna, author of When General Grant Expelled the Jews and American Judaism: A History, " To Stand Aside or Stand Alone will provide the English-speaking world with a documentary treasure trove that is, to the best of my knowledge, sui generis." --Gary Phillip Zola, author of Isaac Harby of Charleston, 1788-1828: Jewish Reformer and Intellectual and coeditor of A Place of Our Own: The Rise of Reform Jewish Camping, "More southern rabbis rose to challenge white supremacy during crucial years of the civil rights movement than scholars have previously recognized. P. Allen Krause's provocative interviews, which he conducted in 1966, with thirteen rabbis who served in the South during the most turbulent years of the civil rights movement document this significant historiographical shift. P. Allen Krause and his collaborators were clean about what was at stake in documenting this crucial history." -- Journal of Southern History "What brings to life To Stand Aside or Stand Alone is its human dimension, catching the rabbis in the fullness of their beings." -- The American Jewish Archives Journal "No one who is interested in this subject will henceforth be able to understand the full picture without consulting To Stand Aside or Stand Alone .
