The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-01-20

born in the United States was
Jewish.
Like the English settlements,
which were founded in the six
teenth century but did not prove
permanent till the first quarter
of the seventeenth century, the
Jewish settlement did not prove
permanent till 1854. And it was
not on English but on Dutch soil
that the Jew made his home.
The vast preponderance of
Russian. and German Jews now
in the United States would lead
one to believe that they were
among the first to settle in the
country. But this is not the fact.
The fact is that the first Jewish
settlers were Spanish and Portu-
guese, who came here to escape
the iron grip that the Old World
had fastened on the New in the
form of torture chambers and
Inquisition fires lighted all over
South America and Mexico.
There was no longer any place
of refuge for them in the south
ern part of the New World. And
they dared not turn to the Old
World.
For in the Old World the two
centuries preceding the perma-
nent settlement of Jews in the
United States are among the
most tragic of our race. In 1872
Spain had driven out every Jew
that would not embrace the
Cross; England had kept her
doors closed to the Jew since
1920; France, after depriving him
of his earthly possessions, had
driven him out for the second
time in 1894; Italy tolerated him
in the hope that he would ulti-
mately become Christian. in the
German municipalities he was
harassed and prosecuted in
thousand fendish ways; and only
a few years before the settlement
in the United States the Khmel-
nicki massacres were raging with
wild fury. All over Europe Jew
ish dignity was trampled in the
dust.
Nor was his condition better
in the Western part of the United
States, where France was soyer-
eign. Without any feeling Of per-
sonal elation, it is recognized as
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1922-01-20
The Jewish Pilgrim Fathers
Account of the First Jewish Settlers in the United States
BY Herman Jacobs ohm (Copyrght)

an indisputable fact that the Jew
was practically the only man who
got along with the Redman de-
Gently. This friendliness and mu-
tual understanding between the
Jew and the Indian reused the
anger of the French traders and
they caused Louis XIII of
France, who needed no urging in
cases pertaining to the persecu-
ton of the Jew, to issue an edict
expelling all Jews from French
America, by far the vastest pos
session held by any European
state. Some years later three
Jews who were found on the
north side of the Ohio river were
burned as an example to the ven
turesome.
II.
Like the English Pilgrim
Fathers, the Jewish Pilgrim
Fathers found their way into
North America by way of Hol-
land. The Jews who had come
to Holland, after the Spanish ex-
pulsion, longed for home where
they could retain their customs
and habits and, especially, where
they could speak the Spanish
language, which had been bred
into their blood for centuries.
Holland in turn was inimical
to everything that smacked of
Spain, her oppressor. For she was
then groaning under the yoke of
the Spanish Inquisition. The
Dutchmen at last rebelled. A long
and bitter struggle ensued from
which the rebels came out vic
torious (1581); and they imme-
diately began to wreak vengeance
on their ancient enemy. They be-
gan to prowl up and down the
Spanish Main, began to conspire
with their former fellows in
affliction, the Jews in Holland
and the Moranos in Spanish
America; and taking with them
a great many Jews in their fleet,
attacked and captured Brazil in
162A.
Now opened a new era for Jews
and Maranos in South and Cen
trail America. From everywhere
they began flocking to Brazil.
Twenty years later a group of
Jews in Holland, much after the
manner of the English Pilgrim

One of the most fascinating
stories of mans conquest of the
earth is the story dealing with
the settlement of America.
1t is story full of suffering,
heroism, and romance, ringing
with the sweeping notes of a
vast pipe organ, and painting pic
lures of epic dimension.
The iron nerved and danger
loving men who planted the col
onies along the Atlantic coast are
known in American history as
the Pilgrim Fathers. They came
in search of freedom under skies
unmarried by edicts of tyrants
and the bulls of popes and pre-
lateS.
AS if by Providential arrange
ment, the Discoverer of America,
aided by Jewish fnanciers and
Jewish scientists, had set sail
from Spain upon his epochmak-
ing discovery the day after the
Jew was driven from his Spanish
home.
With Columbus they were the
first to step upon the free soil
of America and a century and a
half later were among the first
to settle in the United States.
The story of the founding of
Jewish settlements in the United
States is long and we shall there
fore touch only upon the most
important and most interesting
episodes.
Eager to cross swords with
their ancient enemy, Spain, many
Dutch Jews enlisted in the serv-
ice of the renowned Dutch and
English buccaneers of the day.
There is reason to believe that
there were Jews in the crews of
the Drake and Raleigh adventur-
Gus expeditions preying upon the
golden laden galleons of the
Spaniards, as we'll as in the
bloody raids of Teach and Nor
gan, of infamous memory, which
sent many Spanish crew to the
bottom of the sea.
The Jewish sea fighters were
of course not known as Jews.
They passed for Italians in Eng
land; for Saracens in France and
Holland; Moors, Turks, any
thing. For it was dangerous in
those days to be Jew
and be found out. But even as
Jews, under real Jewish names,
their names are to be found in
English colonial records as early
as 1924. Today it is an estab-
lished fact that the first child

Fathers, collected all their be-
longings and set out for Brazil,
there to join their co-religionists.
And for a time Brazil was the
freest land in America.
But this freedom proved of
short duration: In 1854 Portugal
took Brazil from Holland; and
as Portugal and Spain were
equally intolerant, the Jews had
to flee for their lives. They left
for the Dutch West Indies and
for Jamaica; and from Jamaica
twenty-three of them took pas
sage for the Dutch settlements in
North America, New Amster-
dam, changed to New York when
the English drove out the Dutch.
Upon landing (September) they
found there Jew named Jacob
Barsimon, who had landed a few
months before July 8 on the
"Pear Tree" and a number of
Jewish soldiers who had come
over sometime during 1862.
The new arrivals were all des-
titute and they had driven a hard
bargain with the captain of the
Saint Catarine," the Jewish
Mayfower, by which each Jew
had pledged for his own passage
and for the passage of the rest
of his brethren. Immediately after
landing a few were clapped into
prison in default Of payment.
But the immigrants brought
with them something more valu-
able than the price of passage.
They brought with them the
courage, the perseverance, the
dignity, and the self-respect of
the Spanish Jew, then the aristo-
crat of the worlds Jewry. And
they soon were given the oppor-
tunity to use their possessions
by Peter Stuyvesant, the COVER
nor of the Dutch colony.

FLORIDA GIRL TO APPEAR
IN "OUEEN OF SHEBA."

One Of the girls among the thirty
six dancers in the Fox super-special
"Queen of Sheba," playing at the Isis
TheStrA. Monday and Tuesday, is Miss
Alrnena Dozier, who is not only an &C
complished dancer, but has been found
to have a perfect figure. While
dancing on the Sheba set Miss Dozier
was chosen by Finn Frolich, who had
charge of the making of all the sculp-
ture for the sets of the picture, to
pose for the relief of a dancer that was
cast life-sized and used as a wall
adornment. Mr.. Frolieh found that
Miss Dozier had a perfect figure for
sculpture reproduction.
| Although this relief is Assyrian in
pose and adornment, Mr.. Frolich has
made good use of the figure he mod
elled in perfecting the outlines, max
ing them correct anatomically, rather
than following the ancient Assyrian
crudities. Miss Dozier's love Of the
artistic prompted her to pose will

Miss Dozier is Florida girl Of
French descent, coming from family
of musicians, and is herself an &C
compiished pianist. Her sister and
mother are well known musicians.
Miss Dozier is a graduate of Tallahas-
