Book/ "The World of Our Fathers"

This book I signed out of library made me wish that Santa had brought me a kindle for xmas. It's about the Eastern European Jews immigration to America. It was a wonderful trip through the imagination as I imagined what the trek was like from the Ukraine to us for my ancestors.

My friend's ancestors were mentioned which was exciting,(Blaustein) and even my 1/2 sister's married name showed up many times.

I became stymied by the length of the book, 700 pages, and was unable to carry this on my back in my backpack so i had to return it well before it was due. I recommend this book for hx. buffs, especially those with any Jewish heritage.
