Jewish History Nerds is a finalist for a Signal Award in the history category. If you enjoy this show, please comment wherever you get your podcasts. We’ll be back soon with a brand new season.
Historian Dr. Henry Abramson usually works behind the scenes, but this week he joins Yael and Schwab to explore what makes the American Jewish experience unique. Together, they reflect on 250 years of Jewish life in America, from Emma Lazarus and immigration to Superman, antisemitism, and Jewish creativity. They also explore stories still waiting to be told, including the remarkable Jewish adventurers who journeyed to Antarctica throughout history.
Dr. Henry Abramson sat down with Yael and Schwab for this episode The Jewish History Hiding in Japan and Korea.
Here’s the first episode in the America’s Series The First Jews in the Americas: Fleeing the Inquisition, the episode submitted to the Signal Awards for consideration.
