Yiddish/English Poster
For the more than two million Jews from the Russian Empire, Romania, and Austria-Hungary who entered the United States between 1881 and 1924, mastery of the English language was critical to successfully becoming "American," as this Yiddish/English poster, part of a 1936–1941 Federal Art Project in New York City, demonstrates.
