Presenter: Andrea Massion

Piecing together a small Jewish community in the West requires research and sources that are both conventional and unusual. Ms Massion will elaborate on methodology used to recreate Iowa Center, WY and how other academics did the same in surrounding shtels of the American West. An engaging storyteller, Ms Massion will share documents, sources and stories that will show how to put meat on the bones of a town, its community and its characters including Yiddish and English sources from YIVO, New York, the Jewish Farmers' Association, and newspapers.
