Look inside the book:

'Do you know, ma'am, if I didn't have to make a living, I'd like to stay here all day and see my David get educated. ...I'm ashamed to tell you that I haven't read much Jewish history, but I'm sure if we begin to look it up, we'll find that people of your race-people like your father, David-took part in the fight for freedom, wherever they were allowed. ...It took me all my time and strength to make a living-I've never been much good in business, ma'am-and when I got my family over, I saw that it was the children would go to school for me.

About Mary Antin, the Author:

Born to a Jewish family in Polotsk, she immigrated to the Boston area with her mother and siblings in 1894, moving from Chelsea to Ward 8 in Boston's South End, a notorious slum, as the venue of her father's store changed. ... Antin is best known for her 1912 autobiography The Promised Land, which describes her public school education and assimilation into American culture, as well as life for Jews in Czarist Russia.
