Title

Unraveling Jewish Dorchester

Description

For my final project, I explore how and why Jews left Dorchester. I interviewed two grandparents (opposite sides) who epitomized the Jewish migration out of Dorchester. Their narratives, found out through two separate interviews, offer a new dimension to the current literature. I find that Jews left Dorchester mainly for economic rather than social or demographic reasons.
