About the Book

America U.S.A.! At the turn of the Twentieth Century the free air of the greatest land in the world was heady wine for the newly arrived immigrants. In this poignant and personal novel, Eva B. Moses tells the stirring tale of Jewish immigrant Aaron Segal-his dreams, his hopes, his struggles, his war experience, his search for his "dream girl," and his relationships with friends and family here in the "Goldeneh Medinah." What distinguishes Aaron's story is his powerful confrontation with the traditional Christian teaching of blaming the Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus. The pain and conflict within him erupts in an explosive reaction at a Passion Play. This unforgettable novel has profound implications for every reader-and for social justice-by helping to right a wrong so grave that in March 2000 Pope John Paul II finally asked the World to forgive the Church's role in its perpetuation.
