Jewish Americans

I highly recommend the `Coming to America' series. Like all titles in the series `Jewish Americans' takes a look at the lot in life of Jewish immigrants on both sides of the Atlantic, the trials they faced reaching in America, and the battles they had to fight with poverty and prejudice upon their arrival. This is an excellent introduction for a layperson and is full of poignant photographs and examples of famous American Jews, from politicians to artists to gangsters.
