Several hundred refugees, primarily Jews, voluntarily settled in Tennessee after escape from Hitler's anti-Semitic laws, intimidation and death camps.
Strict immigration laws required refugees to obtain American sponsors to insure that they did not become burdens on society. Many of the Jews who settled in Tennessee found work at Jacob May's hosiery mill in Nashville.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
