Louis N. Jaffe Art Theatre, now Village East by Angelika

• ... that the developer of the Louis N. Jaffe Art Theatre wanted it to be a "permanent monument" for the contributions of Jewish immigrants to the US? Source: Yiddish Art Theatre (PDF) (Report). New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. February 9, 1993. p. 12. Jaffe's quote was that Stuyvesant had "declared that 'the Jews should not be permitted to infest this country'. I thought a Jewish theatre on this very place would be a permanent monument to prove that the Jewish immigrant to this country is a useful citizen and makes a definite contribution to the country. I have answered Peter Stuyvesant 300 years too late, but my answer is none the less conclusive."
