Explore the origins of Jewish Underworld leaders' criminal careers and discuss morality, power, and assimilation. Figures like Arnold Rothstein, Meir Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel, notorious gangsters with activities spanning Atlantic City, Miami, Cuba, and Las Vegas, all started on New York's Lower East Side.

We will explore where their illicit journeys began, consider questions of morality and power, and reflect on how assimilation shaped their paths. Use your imagination to visualize historical sites linked to these Jewish gangsters.

Join urban historian, licensed tour guide, and native New Yorker Bradley Shaw on this walking tour as we visit these sites and learn about the history of these gangsters from the Lower East Side.
