This book explores the influence of historical events and intergenerational transmission of trauma on the psychological lives of pre-1924 Eastern European Jewish immigrants and their children. It explores disavowal of loss, homesickness, and anti-Semitic violence, as well as parents’ sacrifices and their children’s success.
