Days at the pool or the tennis court, nights in the casino or the comedy club. This was summer in the Catskills in the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s, the glory days of the mountain playlands that warmly welcomed Yiddish-speaking immigrants and refugees, along with their families. In hotels, bungalow colonies, tiny kuchalaynes and lavish resorts, the entertainment was A-list and the non-stop food was kosher. Join us for the story of the Borscht Belt, which reshaped the Jewish American experience, helped Americanize Holocaust survivors, and profoundly changed American culture.
