Episode 1They Came to Stay / A World of Their Own

In the 1700s, a small number of Jews came to America, struggling to hold fast to their faith while becoming part of the emerging nation. During the 19th century, German-speaking Jews arrived from Central Europe, gravitating to the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Jewish Americans developed their own cultural institutions and the Yiddish theater became popular. (Yad Vashem)
