 2) A Place for One’s Home: Building Jewish Communities Against the Odds

Whether it was the German Jews in the 1850s, Eastern European Jews in the 1880s, or Soviet Jews in the 1970s and 1980s, when Jewish families immigrated to the Upper Midwest region their desire was simple: a home. A place to live, for their family to prosper, free from religious and social persecution. While some were successful with businesses and homesteads, others met housing discrimination and prejudice.  Presented by Kate Dietrick, Assistant Archivist, Nathan and Theresa Berman Upper Midwest Jewish Archives

 

This series of intellectually stimulating talks is sponsored by the University of Minnesota Libraries Archives and Special Collections.
