A dramatic pageant depicting thousands of years of Jewish religious history drew 150,000 people to Soldier Field during the Century of Progress Exposition in 1933. Jews, Protestants, and Roman Catholics came together to witness historical tableaus that celebrated a venerable religious identity and faith. At the same time, the interfaith harmony could itself be taken as an expression of a characteristic American identity, a "rebuke" to the hatred evident in what had recently become "Hitler's Germany."
