Description

Sarah Goldstein begins by discussing how she helped create the Asheville Jewish Community Center, and how soldiers from Camp Croft were hosted there. She describes the time when William Dudley Pelley ("America's Hitler") had his base of operations in Asheville and how he was "kicked out" of the city. Who operated what business when is also something Ms. Goldstein recalls in fair detail, and the end of her interview consists of remembering the climate which fostered camaraderie amongst the Jewish community.
