Exodus: Russian Persecution and the Jewish flight to the United States, 1881 - 1924

Discrimination and intermittent persecutions were part of the life of Jews in the Pale of Settlement in Russia in the 19th century. However, in 1881, a violent persecution broke out in Russia and Eastern Europe that provoked the emigration of a large percentage of Jews to other countries. Many of these Jews came to the United States through Ellis Island.  Join Dr. Franz as he shares this gripping and powerful story of hope and deliverance. Speaker: Dr. Gerald Franz
