...from a time when discriminatory policies made it difficult for Jews to travel freely across America

When was this? What were the policies?

---

These agreements and understandings existed up into the early sixties. I’m 62, and I remember as a kid the tension when trying to find places to staywhen traveling.

In the fifties and sixties, many of our families went to Atlantic City. I still remember the Kosher decals in the windows of many of the eateries.

I’m in my 40’s (and not jewish) and had no idea this once happened in the USA. Was it routine to show an ID when checking into hotels back then?
