"A Dream, A Journey, A Community: A Nostalgic Look at Jewish Businesses in and Around Atlantic City," presentation by Leo Schoffer. Leo Schoffer grew up the child of immigrants who came to Atlantic County looking to establish a new life. Pre-casino Atlantic City during the early 20th century is full of stories about immigrants like Leo’s parents who came to Atlantic City and established businesses that became the center of the city's commercial culture.
