Freida Sima (Bertha) Eisenberg Kraus was among the two million
Jewish men, women and children who emigrated from Europe to the
United States during the Great Wave of Immigration (1881-1914).
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 war's end, portraying the "Golden Years"
of these former immigrants through their retirement and until the
final years of their lives.
