The Flavorful Journey of New Immigrants to America (1880-1924)

Between 1880 and 1924, over 15 million immigrants from diverse backgrounds such as Austro-Hungarian, Turkish, Lithuanian, Russian, Greek, and Italian, transformed the American landscape. Driven by the promise of jobs during the Industrial Revolution and escaping challenges in Europe, many moved to find a better life. With a mixture of faiths including Jewish and Catholic, these individuals brought a rich tapestry of languages and cultures. Their stories reflect resilience, driven by the demand for unskilled labor, and a desire to escape dire conditions in their homeland.
