New York City's Lower East Side in 1907
 
 
"9898 - 'How the other half lives' in a crowded Hebrew district, lower East Side, N.Y. City. Copyright 1907 Underwood & Underwood. U-86189." Pogroms in Russia and elsewhere in eastern Europe brought thousands of Jewish immigrants to the United States, with many settling in New York City. Jewish immigrants often found work in the garment industry, which became centered in the Lower East Side.

For further reading, we recommend checking out At the Edge of a Dream: The Story of Jewish Immigrants on New York's Lower East Side, 1880-1920 by Lawrence Epstein.
