Abstract
In July 1933, thousands gathered during Chicago’s World’s Fair to witness the spectacular Zionist pageant, The Romance of a People. Boldly, The Romance figured Jewish redemption as central to humanity’s upward climb. Thus, Jews were presented in the pageant as civilizing agents, bringing Western progress to empty Eastern space.
