DVD: Making Their Mark: From German Immigrants to New York City Icons. A Special Project for the German Consulate General New York. Produced by Todd Weinstein, Steve Zehentner and PROSPEKT.2008. Copying from the DVD back cover: "In this film, you'll meet descendents of the families who created three enduring New York City icons: The John Roebling family and the Brooklyn Bridge, the Lazarus Straus family and the Macy's department store (the largest in the world!) and the Heinrich Stienway family and the Steinway piano factory. Their lives and legacies are representative of the thousands of German-American families who have put their special mark on New York City." Paul Kurzman is featured in this DVD, and the great grandson of Lazarus Straus, and he discusses his family.
