This book tells her story and that of her family, from her birth in the Bukovina to her immigration to New York City alone at age fifteen in 1911, her immigrant work life, her marriage to a widower with four sons, and the birth of their only daughter right before the beginning of the Great Depression in 1929. It describes how she and a whole immigrant generation survived that Depression, sent their children off to fight for America during the Second World War while worrying about what was happening to the families that they had left back in Europe. It takes the story further, describing what happened to her European family and how she was reunited with her surviving siblings after the war. The book continues for almost a half century after the end of the war, portraying the "Golden Years" of those former immigrants through their retirement and until the final years of their lives."--Page 4 of cover. 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aIsrael$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJews$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.8924073 700 $aBaumel-Schwartz$b Judith Tydor$01159684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158856603321 996 $aMy name is Freida Sima$92891249 997 $aUNINA
