Review

"America... "Everyone who went there became a millionaire overnight, and a doctor or teacher into the bargain. There, in America, was my future as well as theirs. For it would take me only a few weeks to make enough money to send for the whole family." These were the optimistic words of M. E. Ravage, a sixteen-year old Romanian Jew who crossed the ocean in the early 1900s in search of a New World of wealth, fortune, and opportunity."
