This panel presentation addresses patterns of migration in 1950s Montgomery County. In this postwar decade most of the foreign born living in the county came from England, Canada, Germany, and the USSR though others came from as far away as China. Using census data, historical newspapers, government documents, and life history interviews the panel will highlight hidden stories of migration including those of stateless refugees, Chinese entrepreneurs, and Yiddish speakers.
