Partial Transcript: Louis is not sure why many Jews came to Milwaukee. He supposes that they settled in Milwaukee, liked the city, and wrote their families in Europe to come to the city. He thinks many of the children of the original Jewish settlers eventually moved to California. The economic prospects for Jews in Hungry and Bohemia were poor and so many came to Milwaukee for better economic opportunities.
