Mid Century Jewish Mawrtyrs

Jewish Students Weren't Debutants and Hadn't Gone to Private School

I think the biggest difference at Bryn Mawr was the fact that the Jewish students weren't debutantes and many of the girls that came there had their coming out parties, they were debutantes, they had gone to private schools. There was a very big difference in class much more so than in religion, I think. I found them to be people like me, but their experiences had been very different, than say my experience had been growing up. I mean, many of them had gone to private schools. Not only had they gone to private schools which was something that really surprised me, but they had lived at these schools which I had never imagined, going away in junior high school and high school to live somewhere else and go to high school. I was very close to my parents. We lived at home. So, there was this divide.
