Just discovered Irving Howe this week! And ordered Nina‘s book today. Can’t wait to read more of this mid-century intellectual. Thank you for posting this video.

I was exploring some of the city a few weeks ago and while looking at nearby sites of interest I came across this museum. I ran out of time to explore and couldn't afford admission anyway, so I didn't get to see it. I love seeing the full dimensional experience of how people live and their personalities in combination with the eras they live in, especially others in poverty. As someone who is probably of an adjacent economic class as many of the migrants who historically lived in these buildings, and couldn't afford the $40+ fee to get to enjoy this museum: Does anyone know if there are any free digital walkthroughs or records to learn more about the history of tenement buildings and their residents in NYC? Maybe a book I can borrow from a library? Photography archives, etc?

such asn arrray of items,don't have to go to big box store i.e. costco etc.

I've wanted to visit your museum for years now. I went on your website to get info to come this weekend. I was astonished that your fee is $30 per "room". Having said that, coming online to find something showing if it's worth it... I have to pass. It's a shame you charge so much and keep people from "experiencing" history. Shame on the Tenement Museum.

I have visited The Tenement Museum many times, while visiting NYC. So many stories, so well done and, so interesting. It is one of my favorite places, in the city!

Very interesting video. I find the last statement to be insulting to Jewish women, as if power and popularity is a strength. They were women who wanted the best for their families and fought for it. It's not my style to reduce them to historical figures more than mothers and caring people who wanted the best for everyone.

Election cheating is a very real thing.

Sounds of the past !

Pss "Educators"?!? They're tour guides. And at 3:07...is that a TV in the corner?

Maybe if abortion was available they would still have chosen life!❤😊

What was it like before? Why do a makeover?😢

The old linoleum should be preserved too❤

Lovely video! Thank you!

I visited in November 2023. Fantastic experience and would totally recommend!

Victoria was my Nona! My dad, Leonard Cohen, was her son!

I plan to visit these museums! ❤😊#NYC

Idiotic making up a day that is clearly meaningless to everyone.

Im coming to NY in November from England. Im definitely coming to see this

Very informative, but there are two different points of view in presenting this info. Academics: We need to spend an hour building up to the 1924 act. Journalists: You're burying the lede. You'll lose your audience before you get to 1924. Also: Why is nobody drinking their beer? Doesn't all the talk make them thirsty? Are they told they can't drink until they're done? Kidding, sort of.

This is fascinating. Thank you.

The immigrant people that lived in these tenements reflect a better life than people born in America at the time who lived in the country or poor states.

they might need to rent these spots again the way the housing market is going

so interesting! I love that you're presenting this online. more please

Thanks for doing this! Loved it

I mean... I'd live there 😅😅

In 100 years they will have a museum dedicated to 2024 when working professionals could only afford a walk-in closet in Manhattan

Por culpa de George w bush ya no están las torres gemelas George w bush podía haber evitado el 11 de septiembre y no lo evitó o no lo quiso evitar permitio esta salvajada George w bush

Fascinating!

Going up those stairs i just could imagine if it wasn't kept it would actually look like a NYCHA unit😂

As my mom would say, “You’ve done it again.” Here, I’m using that admonition in a positive light. Catching up with the Tenement Museum webinars I’ve missed, before watching this, I had no idea what “shanda” was. An hour later, I am, yet again, astonished at your ability to evoke the memories of my family’s history.

I went on both Joseph Moore tours over the weekend. The educator on the "After the Famine: 1869" tour frequently undercut any hardship the Irish family experienced by comparing it to the greater hardship of blacks in NYC. Visitors who sign up for the Irish tour deserve to get an interpretation that recognizes the unique challenges the Irish community faced and not minimize their struggles in NYC/America. The tone of the tour was that any such questions/comments would be labeled reactionary and, likely, racist. Perhaps the creation of the two Joseph Moores exhibits side by side inherently sets up this dynamic. In order to bring the history of black New Yorkers into the museum, it was never necessary to use the construct of another Joseph Moore. It is worthwhile to interrogate more thoughtfully how we can ethically tell the history of all ethnicities and their genuine experiences in the US.

Love the music ❤!

This is such a valuable discussion about what happened back then. Thanks for hosting and sharing.

3:30 This lady is not honest with us.

Great presentation and lots to think about. I spent four wonderful days in NYC in 2018 taking every single tour the Museum offered, including the now defunct Tastings at the Tenement dinner, which was hands down the best experience of that trip. Good food, good history and really really well done. I hope you are able to revive it someday.

Congratulations to Annie and the entire staff! Always a thrill to step back in time and see how our ancestors navigated their new world!

I'm so happy I saw the new tenement room when I was in NY!

Awesome!! Can’t wait to visit. We❤The Tenement Experience

Of course, while politicians and corporations love it, "legal" immigration levels have been out of control in the US for the last three decades. Almost more than anything else, overimmigration has destroyed us living standards-driving up the cost and down the quality and quantity of every basic human necessity.

Amazing how Jewish immigrant holocaust survivors came to USA in adherence to the constitution and values of America without any desire to cause trouble as the Palestinian protestors or any one faction of Islamic extremism in the way of trying to change America

Very interestedly.

Next time I'm going to NY , I'll definitely look into this . Fascinating stuff !!

It’s cool that they have actors and actresses portraying former residents.

Love her and her philosophy ❤❤❤.

This was a great series! Thank you to the Tenement Museum!

My grandpa collected old circulated coins because he liked imagining the story the coin had. I’m thinking of getting into collecting old historically dated or significant newspapers for the same reason

"The demand for equal rights in every vocation of life is just and fair; but, after all, the most vital right is the right to love and be loved." ~ Emma Goldman

Really interesting. Thoughtful, nuanced, grown up history. Really looking forward to visiting the museum from the UK in January

my ancestors were Ashkenazi Jews from Lithuania and Latvia. they came to New York in the late 1800's. I wonder if they lived in one of those buildings.
