Jewish Exhibit
The purpose of the Jewish museum was to learn about the hard times and difficulties that Jewish people had to go through to get where they are today. Some interesting facts I learned was that in the 1880’s millions of Jewish people started coming to America. Also, in 1924, the congress closed “the golden door” to eastern European Jewish Immigrants. Another fact I found interesting at this museum was that Henry Ford, the founder of ford cars, was said to be associated with the K.K.K. The first Jewish man sat in congress in 1841. Some people like to call Passover “the American Jewish Thanksgiving”. Rebecca Gratz founded the first Jewish Sunday school in 1838. Emma Lazarus, who wrote ‘The New Colossus’, was Jewish.
