[b]History:[/b]

It first started in the early 20's, Russian Jews fled the collapsed Empire and settled along the west coast around Seattle. The small community began to slowly grow through the decade as unease began to seep through Europe. In the 30's, at the height of the worldwide depression, an influx of Jews fleeing pogroms and scapegoats from their European homelands came to America. They were met with unfriendly indifference by the now right-wing government in control. Jews of various nationalities, the incoming refugees and including those whose had called America home for centuries, were packed off and shuttled to Alaska. 

An act of Congress created the Federal District of Sitka in 1935. The first group of settlers arrived to find a grouping of rocky islands and a harsh climate. But to these people, this was nothing news. Now twenty years have passed and over 2.5 million Jews call Stika home. It is a melting pot of religious zealots, refugees in search of a permanent home, criminals looking to hide from something. Most of the population are just good people keeping their heads down and trying to survive, the words [i]Gam Zeh Ya’avor [/i]-- This Too Shall Pass -- in the back of their minds.
