a short film about Jews of New York

THE JEWISH JOURNEY: AMERICA | March 2015 | PBS


A short film about the immigration to New York. Some comments on the page are a bit annoying to read, but they paint a picture about the way others may see us.

This clip is particularly interesting because it cuts off on the topic of Russia/Eastern Europe, and I wonder how PBS was going to frame the late 19th century. It seems to me that this is a great example of the "typical" narrative of the Jewish experience emigrating to America, even though we all know that such a narrative is necessarily incomplete.

It is ON!
