This is BP in 1912, when there were little or no Jews here. At that time, in the early 1900's, Jews in Europe, who were many of our grandparents and great grandparents, had no idea what catastrophe was in store for them over the next 30 or so years.

Look at the change in Boro Park in 103 years. What will BP look like in another 103 years?

Just another proof of how clueless ALL people are about the future and how politics and new governments drastically change the world.

I should have added the following description of the picture:

Thirteenth Ave., west side, between 50th Street (right) and 5lst Street (left), showing the Borough Park Club House. About 1912. Eugene L. Armbruster Collection.
