Then, going a little deeper, we learn about how a Jewish Peddler from Bavaria named Adam Gimbel started a retail empire from his first shop In Vincennes, Indiana. Finally, we find out how Jewish Peddlars positively shaped the way Non-Jews perceived Jews across the US and ultimately shaped the destinies of Jewish immigrants to follow.
