Oral history interview with Max Katz, Nov. 19 and Dec. 3, 1981.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50612867

Katz describes his early life in Seattle's old Jewish neighborhood in the 1920s and 1930s (later known as the Central District), explaining what life was like for a relatively poor Orthodox Jewish family in Seattle. He also discusses his parents' lives, personalities, and views of the Reform and Sephardic Jews. He describes the mixture of families -- Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews, blacks, Chinese, Finns, and Irish Catholics -- who lived on his block, which was bounded by 19th and 20th avenues and Fir and Spruce streets. Katz also recalls his experiences at Seattle Talmud Torah and the public schools.
