The presentation recounts the story of Anna Shulman "Queen of H Street" as she settles into her neighborhood of Northeast Washington in the 1920's--a neighborhood filled  not only with Jewish immigrants, but also with Italian, Irish, German, and African-American families. Anna’s husband opened a dry goods store and all her children helped run the business. She helped found the Hebrew Sheltering Society, where new immigrants could get a change of clothes, a safe place to sleep, and kosher meals.

This is a production designed for the entire family by the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington and features actress Susan Holliday.
