Digital Story Title: One Hundred Years in America Using the
Feldman family and their descendents as a lens, the film will
examine the changes that immigrant families experience over
several generations. It will start with the reason that the
Feldmans—and millions of other Jews—left Eastern Europe between
1880 and 1920 and include the changes each generation thereafter
faced, from trying to adjust to a new home, to balancing an
immigrant parent and their heritage with being an American, to
rejecting tradition in favor of blending in, and then a return
to trying to balance the past with the present. The main goal of
this project is to tell the story of a particular immigrant
family through the twentieth century and serve as a point of
discussion on how this particular story is both unique and
similar to the stories of other immigrant families. Who is your
intended audience? (e.g., colleagues, historians, art
historians, the general public, high school history students,
middle school music students, art students
