Abstract
- The article focuses on the transformation of Murrieta Hot Springs in Riverside County, California, from a health spa resort established by Fritz Guenther in 1902 to a predominantly Jewish haven by the 1930s. Topics discussed include the resort's unintentional Jewish symbolism, the influx of Jewish patrons, the contrast with nearby resorts, and the role of Guenther's openness in fostering its Jewish identity.
