Embark on a trip through time, a two-hundred-year,
multi-generational journey starting from the western strip of
Russia, the Pale of Settlement, and making several stops across
Europe at the major Jewish-populated cities of Kalush and Lodz
before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. This moving biography and
well-researched family saga begins with Paul Weinberg's ancestors
in the 1790s.
Two families from the town of Kalush, Ukraine, are united when a
young man moves to New York and brings his first cousin to the new
country to be his wife. "My Word Is My Bond" follows the families
of Paul's parents, David and Dorothy, as they make their home in
America. It is also their love story, which unfolds like a richly
embroidered tapestry.
Life wasn't easy for Dorothy, the second daughter of immigrant
parents, or David, the third child of poor, uneducated parents who
had lived under the rule of the czar. David, who rose from a
temporary employee at the Bank for Savings to being appointed vice
president, faced peer hatred because he was a Jew, yet he conquered
the barrier of discrimination.
This personal memoir pays tribute to one family's history and
their perseverance to overcome widespread anti-Semitism.
