DVD Reviews of The Jewish Americans
DVD Review: Unexplainable omission
Summary: 4 Stars
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
