...from a time when discriminatory policies made it difficult for Jews to travel freely across America

When was this? What were the policies?

[Conscience of a Conservative]

In the first half of the 20th century (and even a bit later), it was not uncommon for hotels and resorts to have “No Jews” policies.

There was a lot of discrimination against Jews. I think the movie “Gentleman’s Agreement” is about that. But someone will correct me if I’m wrong.

These agreements and understandings existed up into the early sixties. I’m 62, and I remember as a kid the tension when trying to find places to staywhen traveling.

In the fifties and sixties, many of our families went to Atlantic City. I still remember the Kosher decals in the windows of many of the eateries.

For better, or for worse, Americans still had the right of free association and could (and did) refuse service to any one they damn pleased, for whatever damn reason they wanted.

I'm old enough to remember when Jews had to use a "beard" in order to buy property in certain N.H. resort areas.
