This talk explores the emergence of Jewish community in Montgomery County, with a focus on the built environment. Jewish developers played a major role in the county’s mid-century building boom and their work served to foster Jewish community life. The presentation features developers who created residential and commercial developments and provided religious centers and recreation facilities which supported and attracted Jewish residents. Representative projects include Indian Spring Golf and Country Club, Montgomery Jewish Community Center, Kemp Mill Estates. Early synagogues dating from the 1950s-1970s were designed by leading modernist architects. This talk draws upon the author’s study of mid-century modern architecture in Montgomery County, published in the award-winning book, Montgomery Modern, and also builds on the work of the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington’s exhibit and book Jewish Washington: Scrapbook of an American Community.
With religious intolerance on the rise across the country, it is incumbent upon historians to document and record those experiences. And all too often, non-Christian religions like Islam are given short shrift in American history, though locally both Jim Johnston’s From Slave Ship to Harvard and Stephen Stec’s new article “Riley v. Worthington” in the Montgomery County Story highlight the overlooked presence of Muslims in our early history. In keeping with the adage that “today is tomorrow’s history,” Jim Johnston leads a panel of individuals from Pakistan, the United States, Palestine, and Algeria in a conversation to discuss what it is like to be Muslim in Montgomery County today.

Mr. Henry Greenbaum was twelve when the Germans occupied his hometown in Poland. Over the next six years, he was forced to live in a ghetto, to perform slave labor and to live in concentration camps and was sent on a death march. He was finally liberated by the American Army in 1945, but had lost his mother and five of his eight siblings. He emigrated from Poland to the United States and built a new life in Montgomery County, Maryland.
