"Each American Jew should read these echoes of their American past."--
Lifestyles"This latest entry in the very well-received 'Family Album' series upholds the high standards of its predecessors: well-organized excerpts from primary sources about the experiences of immigrants to the United States, accompanied by clearly reproduced and informatively captioned photographs.... For
its effective, inisghtful portrayal of the experiences of a very important group of immigrants, this book is highly recommended for school and public libraries."--
MultiCultural Review"Attractive and extremely useful.... The volume's many voices tell of the persecutions that motivated waves of immigration, the hardships of the journey, and the struggles and successes of life in America."--
Kirkus Reviews"A handsome book that emphasizes the importance of family, continuity, and returning to one's roots. What makes this title unique is the high quality of the carefully researched and varied historical information and the Hooblers' judicious selection of primary-source excerpts.... The book's design
contributes to ease of reading and comprehension. Milton Meltzer's
The Jewish Americans...established the standard, but this volume surpasses it. Altogether a fascinating, quality choice."--
