Throughout present day American history there have been many differing views on the Eastern European and Russian Jews as a people and the ways in which they have affected American society. Although often looked down upon, Russian Jews have actually contributed a great deal to the economic growth of New York as well as the riddance of sweat shops and opening of labor unions all over the United States, and have gotten a long way form their persecution in their homeland during the nineteenth century. Perhaps though a study of their history and their culture it can be understood just how difficult life had been for them and how experienced the European Jews really are.
