German Jewish Immigration in the 1880s
The two main reasons jewish immigrtants came over from Germany is because they were very poor in Germany and they were extremely discriminated against. They also wanted to find they riches in America. The Jewish people from Germany arrived at Eilis Island and settled on the lower east side in Manhattan. People also fled because of the new balance of power. The boats usually launched of in Holland and Germany. Since the Jewish people were poor, they went on third and fourth class on the ships, which is incredibly disgusting. Lots of people died on these ships. But their dreams were not broken. They dreamed of being rich someday, owning a multi billion dollar firm.
