About the lecture: Millions of immigrants who came to America saw their financial lives shaped by East European Jewish financiers like Joseph Marcus and Saul Singer whose stories are now in the dustbin of history, overshadowed by the history of more well-known German Jewish bankers. This lecture shares their stories and how they shaped not only banking in the Jewish community, but the business of mass migration to and real estate development in America itself. Cosponsored with VOSJCC.

About Rebecca Kobrin: Rebecca Kobrin is the Russell and Bettina Knapp Associate Professor of American Jewish History. She works in the fields of immigration history, urban studies, business history, East European history and American Jewish History, specializing in modern Jewish migration.
