The Melting-Pot depicts the life of a Russian Jewish immigrant family, the Quixanos. David Quixano has survived a pogrom, which killed his mother and sister, and he wishes to forget this horrible event. He composes an «American Symphony» and wants to look forward to a society free of ethnic divisions and hatred, rather than backward at his traumatic past.
