My family didn't come across the ocean until turn of the century, so the Revolutionary and Civil Wars were already fought and won when we arrived. BUT, we were quickly immersed into South Louisiana's culture, and, in a larger sense, into the culture of the South. So, even though my ancestors were more worried about Nazis and avoiding large ovens, I felt a definite sense of pride, camaraderie, and community
If your family came over at the turn of the century (I'm assuming 1900 because you mention being in LA in the 1990's) why were they worried about Nazi concentration camps?

As it turned out, they were quite prescient in their fear. Obviously, their fellow countrymen wouldn't be rounded up for the ovens for another couple of decades, but apparently my great, great grandfather believed a general national consensus against the Jews would culminate in persecution. So, he got his young family together and made his way to New Orleans.
