Changing Places

Question 1

What happened in the Kletzker Brotherly Aid Society?

Answer 1

Originally provided aid for Jewish immigrants and became a representation of Jewish resilience post WWII, but now turned into a Chinese funeral home and so has lost the sense of originality.

Question 2

What happened to the Forward Building?

Answer 2

Originally acted as an educational centre for Jewish migrants and was home to a socialist newspaper and represented the cultural and social significance of the Jewish community, but now has become a place for $15,000 flats –> placelessness.
