Comments
An informant reported, by email, “River Hills Wisconsin (suburb of Milwaukee) kept Jews out by an ordinance that allowed ownership to persons defined in such a way that Jews would not be entitled to own property there. Several decades ago these ordinances were ruled to be unconstitutional as depriving citizens of equal protection, and since that time Jews have lived there.”
