Hello!
My name is Isamu Nevins, a High School Senior from BASIS Tucson North working on a Senior Research Project. My project concerns what it means to be Jewish, and what it means to be a Jewish family living in America. My father was Jewish, but growing up, my own Jewishness was always called into question, sometimes by myself. I want learn more about the Jewish identity in general as well as my own Jewish identity.
I would like to give a huge thank you to the Jewish History Museum and its staff for giving this internship opportunity. I started my internship on Wednesday and have already learned a lot. I'm currently working on an oral history project concerning the first Jews in Tucson.
I've learned a lot about the history of Tucson. One thing I never knew about Tucson, or perhaps the Southwest in general, was that it was considered the best place to send those with asthma or other lung-related illnesses before better treatments were discovered and invented.
