After World War II, refugees all over Europe lived in Displaced Persons Camps, sometimes for years. Some who wanted to leave Europe were permitted to relocate. We will discuss how to find information about refugees arriving in the United States and track them into records to find out what happened to them during the war. Some of the documentation will reveal their parents' names and birthplaces. As an example of what can be found, we’ll look at one specific family’s journey.
This talk will explore the role that organized crime played in developing the system of Jewish immigrant capitalism that coincided with the mass migration of Jews to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the Jewish workers movement struggled against the growth of the sweatshop system,
Jewish unions engaged in some of the earliest forms of what became known as "racketeering" in American history. This presentation will demonstrate how Jewish immigrant workers used organized crime in an effort to bring stability and order to the highly chaotic Jewish ethnic economy.
Many people think that discovering Jewish ancestral families is impossible. Often memories of our families before immigration are lost to time – even their names may have been forgotten.
We will discuss how to start researching Eastern European families who arrived in the U.S. in the 20th century. Among the many topics we will cover will be some easy to find and use tools to Identify where your family lived after immigration, how to search for their original name, identifying where your family came from, and how to assemble the information once you’ve found it.
