Heaven to Home

The purpose of that exhibit was to show the chronological order of the Jewish immigrants. some examples of different places in the exhibit are like the one I read about Jewish immigrants that traveled to Amsterdam and were rejected by a dutch colony because the governor was afraid they would be too much to take care of but let them colonize in the area because it was against the governor's morals to reject priests and rabies. His only rule was that the rabies couldn't preach their religion in public. They could only preach in private. Another one that I found interesting was that during Hitler's invasion over 100,000 Jews escaped to America. I know there were millions of Jews killed by the Nazis but to know that over 100,000 Jews found refuge in America reminds me of how so many other countries look up to us for guidance. And we accept.

As for the Immigrant Children exhibit I liked the picture of the African American women playing the guitar because being a musician myself, i liked seeing how different cultures of music have spread to America. America needs cultural music and Immigrants could bring it with them.

"If we stayed in Bosnia we would have probably been killed. Although no onw can predict the future, just imagine a seven year-old child wondering if he would be killed the next day or spared in this world we call home" - Denis Tuzinovi Bosnia

I chose this one because it shows how people dreaded being in their home country even though it was where they were born.
