One of the best documentarys I've seen. Educational, informational and insightful. It's a keeper. Rating - Unexplainable omission This is a good doc about Jewish Americans and how they emigrated to the United States. It was quite interesting to discover that the nursing profession was invented by a Jewish woman in New York. There are very fascinating facts throught this piece. There are many contributons discussed including commentary from Michael Tilson Thomas on his grandfather's contribution to early Yiddish theatre as well as Irving Berlin's impact on the music world. However, good this may be I am baffled at the omission of a great American Jewish composer who is not mentioned in this film or the comapnion book: George Gerswhin. His contribution is unparraled and there is not one word about him. By no means is this a comprehensive history. And there is a key point that Younger Jews today who have money and did not grow up in poverty or victims of Anti-Semitism will probably be out of touch with the early Jewsih experience and not realte to this at all. As is the case with many younger generations who don't seem to appreciate the roads that are paved a little further for them so that they may struggle less than those before them. Still overall an interesting and importatn look into Jewish historylook Rating - awesome program/series what a great series. i learned so many things that i had never known. i recommend to anyone and everyone Rating - Love it! This is a great DVD. It is a must have for any American Jew wanting to learn more about their Jewish heritage. This DVD can be watched over and over again. Rating - A great documentary I live in the Netherlands and I've always been interested in the Jewish tradition, especially how things evolved in the USA. Love to read Chaim Potok... This is an excellent documentary. We see how important the USA has been for the Jewish people. Everybody should be aware of the great great contribution the Jews have added to world civilisation. Clearly this is the nation through which God has sent his Messiah. Not sure?
