Museum Series:
The 1918 Flu with the Tenement Museum

We will hear the story of the Burinescu family, who lived in the museum’s historic tenement building in the 1910s and 20s. While living at 97 Orchard Street and running a business across the street, the Burinescus experienced the flu season of 1918-1919, which became the deadliest pandemic in human history so far. On this program we will explore what made the flu of 1918 so devastating and how New York City responded to this global crisis.
