Description
Description
In 1654, the first Jews arrive in the United States. Civil rights in the colonies prove hard to win, but American pragmatism leads to small communities of Jewish merchants in several cities. In the mid-1900s, a wave of German immigration brings large numbers of Jews who head for the American West and help build "main street" America. Between 1880 and 1920, two million Jews arrive from Eastern Europe and settle in American cities, changing the face of culture and helping to shape the America of today.
