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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
