Joe Numero, owner of Thermo King, together with Frederick McKinley Jones, a self-taught engineer, revolutionized how we eat by creating a refrigerated transportation system.
The film explores Joe’s early years that shaped his remarkable business acumen, his service to his country in World War I, his unlikely but historic partnership with Fredrick McKinley Jones, who despite not finishing high school, was one of the most brilliant and prolific inventors of his time. ​​

It happened right here
The story of the Jews in the Upper Midwest goes back nearly 200 years. The places where today we live, work and play are the same places our predecessors encountered as immigrants, sodbusters, business owners, community leaders and neighbors. Our story is urban and rural, religious and secular, joyful and tragic.
​
For over 40 years, the Jewish Historical Society of the Upper Midwest has uplifted this history through creating exhibits, authoring publications, and hosting events that enable you to place yourself right here where it happened … where it’s happening today.
