How did a Jewish community on the Caribbean Island St. Eustatius play a role in the American Revolution? University Professor Jonathan D. Sarna ’75, MA’75, H’25 discusses “The First Salute," an exhibition at the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History that presents the role Jews played in the American Revolution, which Elisha Gordan ’25 also worked on. Sarna argues “it's very important for American Jews to know that American history is not somebody else's history. It's their history, too.” Brandeis Stories: https://bit.ly/4v3ZpPv * * * * * Image descriptions: Jonathan D.
