The hows and whys of Jewish immigration to America are explored via historical records and first-hand accounts, beginning in the mid-17th century. Many Jewish families from Eastern Europe and Russia weren’t escaping pogroms, as is often thought, but sought economic opportunity. Others, however, did flee persecution. Persian Jews, for instance, fled Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Among those featured: Holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield, who was on the last transport out of Auschwitz., This PBS documentary traces the journey of Jewish immigrants to the United States, tracing their journey from far-flung shtetl survivors to thriving contributors to the American dream. Director Andrew Goldberg uses interviews and archival documents to describe a diaspora’s travels from Europe, South America, North Africa and the Middle East as they weather challenges away from “the old country” and in the New World.
