Heaven to Home

The purpose of this exhibit, was to learn about Immigrants and how the evolved as they traveled into America. Some examples of the different things you could see in the exhibit are like when I read about the Jewish immigrants that traveled all the way to Amsterdam and were rejected by a dutch colony because the governor was afraid they would be too much to take care of but let them colonize in the area because it was against the governor's morals to reject priests and rabies. But the only thing was that they could only preach in private. Another example that I found interesting was that during Hitler's invasion over 100,000 Jews escaped to America. I know there were millions of Jews killed by the Nazis but to know that over 100,000 Jews found refuge in America reminds me of how so many other countries look up to us for guidance.
