Description
Alfred Markus highlights the establishment of the Friendship Club, an organization for German-speaking Jewish immigrants who arrived during the Hitler era. The club engages in cultural, religious, and self-help activities, aiming to assist fellow immigrants. Markus reminisces about its early days and key figures. He emphasizes the assimilation of Jewish immigrants into American society, with the second generation showing less interest in ethnic organizations. Markus describes his involvement in Temple Sinai and Freemasons, and reflections on the American way of life compared to his German upbringing.
