December 14, 2013 - Miami Beach, Florida, USA - South Beach in 1982, on the southern end of Florida's Gold Coast, was a 1.74 square mile community densely packed with mostly first generation refugees who at various times over the 1900's fled the strife of the Soviet Union/Russia, Hitler's Germany, Castro's Cuba, Duvalier's Haiti and a number of other regimes in Latin and South America. Approximately 15, 000 of them Tsarist Era Eastern European refugees--the largest such population in the world. The groups had very little in common other than living in close proximity, and getting financial support from the government. It was an uneasy existence, ..What began in 1919 as a playground for the wealthy slid into decay over the next 60 years, following the high times of the 1930s & 1940s.
