Races, Jews: United States. New Jersey. Woodbine. Baron de Hirsch Agricultural and Industrial School: Woodbine Settlement 1891 - 1904: Exhibit VI: Baron de Hirsch Agricultural and Industrial School Dairy Department Stable Report 3-Oct

Editor: This is a "Stable Report" from the Baron de Hirsch Agricultural and Industrial School, sometime between 1891 and 1904. It seems to be a record of their dairy operations. It's interesting how data-driven it is. What strikes you about this document? Curator: It highlights the institutional effort to assimilate Jewish immigrants into American agricultural life. The report isn't just about cows; it's about a larger social engineering project. How did visual representations like this reinforce or challenge existing power structures? Editor: That's a great point! It’s fascinating to consider how something as seemingly mundane as a stable report could be a tool for cultural integration. Curator: Exactly. And consider the role of institutions like the Baron de Hirsch fund in shaping this process. Who controlled the narrative and whose voices were left out? Editor: I see. It's a reminder that even seemingly neutral documents can reflect and perpetuate specific ideologies. Thanks for pointing that out! Curator: My pleasure! Reflecting on the political and social impact of this imagery encourages a deeper understanding.
