From 1870 to 1900, over a half million Russian Jews came to the
United States. Russian Jewish emigration had ceased by the 1920s
due to the effects of the First World War, the Bolshevik
Revolution, and the Quota Acts, but a century later, Jews from the
former Soviet Union began to emigrate in large numbers. This
detailed account describes the motivations of Russian and Soviet
Jews for leaving their homeland and their subsequent adjustments to
life in the United States. Simon, a sociologist, provides insight
into who these Jewish immigrants were and are, what they
accomplished, and how they have been viewed.
