Park Lane Apartment Hotel Postcard
Miami Beach, Florida, 1941. This is before the United States officially enters the war, but it’s no secret at this time that Jewish people are being rounded up in Germany and elsewhere in Europe. Like much of the United States, the Park Lane Apartment hotel is saying, “We don’t want them here, either.”
