And The Streets Are Paved With Gold

About the Book

Whether Jewish, Irish, German, Italian or other ethnic groups that were part of the mass migration to our shores out of Europe from the latter part of the 1800s to the early part of the 1900s, the story is familiar. The new arrivals overcame unbelievable hardships in their new land so that their offspring would have a better life than they had had in the old country. And well they did. The decendents of these poor, weary immigrants have become leaders in every field be it politics, science, law, medicine, the military, arts and entertainment, etc. What a stroke of good fortune for both the progeny (of which I am one) and America.
