Everman & Schvey, Home-Grown Talent
DIANE EVERMAN
Jewish Community of St. Louis: 1890-1929 is a
fascinating collection of photographs and text about
Jewish immigrants determined to help the St. Louis
community evolve and prosper against difficult odds.
Philanthropy is one of the many social actions that lead
to a better St. Louis: from the Young Mens Hebrew
Association to the Jewish Hospital to the Home for Aged
& Infirm Israelites. Diane Everman serves as archivist for
St. Louis Jewish Community Archives.
HENRY SCHVEY
The Poison Tree: A Memoir, is a study of Schveys
relationship with his father, an illumination of the secret
life of a man who was powerful, highly respected,
and greatly feared, and a journeyboth sad and
tragicomicthat ultimately leads to forgiveness.
But growing up in his fathers looming shadow, Schvey
wondered if he was doomed to repeat the past,
doomed to make the same mistakes his father made.
Henry Schvey is Professor of Drama and Comparative
Literature at Washington University, where he has taught
since 1987.
