This article is based on the premise that a comparative perspective can enrich our understanding of the role of location in the lives of Eastern European Jewish migrants and their descendants. It explores, through a comparative lens, how the context or place where Eastern European Jews moved 100 years ago shaped their lives in their new homes at the time of initial settlement. It also considers issues concerned with memory, including how the historical experience of migration in specific locations influenced memory of it
