First of all, I chose this book, because I am fascinated by the life of poverty that Jews in Russia or Poland lived at the turn of the century.Then the endearing story of how it all came about that they were able someway, somehow to take the journey to come to the land of the free, America. Then, to vicariously thru them, experience life in New York or new Jersey in the 1900's thru til the end of the book, the middle 1950's, was a delight to do.This book, (cost me a lot) but, I am at the age, I probly wont live long enough to "forget it" and re read, it is that unforgettable a true story, so I will share it with you. By the way, all but 2 or 3 of their loved ones perished in the Holocaust.Thank you!
