Catskills in 60s
In this film and Walking on the Moon, the setting of the Catskill Mountains is depicted as predominantly Jewish resort motels and cabins which entire families from New York City inhabit. I'm not from the region nor familiar with the background for this, but why were there so many Jewish people migrating to this region. Did they settle there or was this only a summer event? Also, did other ethnic groups inhabit the Catskills and does this practice continue to this day?
