  • Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams Why Should You Care?
    Jewish Tough Guys Gangsters and Boxers From the 1880s to the 1980s Jews Are Smart When we picture a Jew the image that comes to mind for many people is a scientist like Albert Einstein Jews Are Successful Some people might picture Jacob Schiff, one of the wealthiest and most influential men in American history Shtarkers and Farbrekhers We should also remember that there were also Jews like Max Baer, the heavyweight Champion of the World in 1934 who killed a man in the ring, and Jacob “Gurrah” Shapiro, who “helped” settle labor disputes. Why Have They Been Forgotten? “The Jewish gangster has been forgotten because no one wants to remember him , because my grandmother won’t talk about him, because he is something to be ashamed of.” - Richard Cohen, Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams Why Should You Care? • Because this is part of OUR history. • Because it speaks to the immigrant experience, an experience that links us to many peoples across many times. • Because it is relevant today to understand the relationship of crime and combat to poverty and ostracism. Anti-Semitism In America • Beginning with Peter Stuyvesant in 1654, Jews were seen as "deceitful", "very repugnant", and "hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ". • In 1862, Ulysses S. Grant issues General Order 11, expelling all Jews from Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky. (Rescinded.) • In 1915, Leo Frank is lynched in Marietta, Georgia. • 1921 and 1924 quota laws are passed aimed at restricting the number of Jews entering America. • Jews were not the only target of these laws.

  • Prohibition in New Jersey
    The Bootlegger Era: Prohibition in New Jersey Exhibit at the Monmouth County Library Headquarters 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, New Jersey October 2013 Organized by The Monmouth County Archives Marc Mappen and Gary D. Saretzky, Curators Eugene Osovitz, Preparer Produced by the Monmouth County Archives Office of the Monmouth County Clerk 125 Symmes Drive Manalapan, NJ 07726 ii Introduction This exhibit on the Prohibition Era in New Jersey is one of several annual presentations by the Monmouth County Archives on eras in New Jersey’s history. Past shows have focused on the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Great Depression, and World War II, as well as thematic shows such as those on sports and photography. Objectives of these public history exhibits include civic education and enhancing an appreciation for the archives that preserve and make available our documentary heritage. As the centennial approaches of the Prohibition Amendment, which severely restricted the manufacture and use of alcohol in 1919, Americans find themselves facing similar kinds of issues, including laws and punishment for illegal drug offenses. The Prohibition Era, which officially terminated with the repeal of the Amendment in 1933, did not end either the debate about the use of mind-altering substances or the illegal traffic in them. Reflecting the gradual evolution of public opinion, the federal and state governments continue to pass and enforce legislation that seeks to promote the public welfare concerning these controversial issues. Today, the electorate and their representatives passionately discuss whether substances like marijuana should be controlled and what the punishment should be for violating drug laws. Even municipalities in New Jersey are now getting involved in these issues as evidenced by recent ordinances about smoking tobacco outdoors in parks.
