Old Bones

by Myra Saturen and Old Bones

The story of a Russian Jewish family's move in the 1890s from Czarist Russia to Cincinnati, Ohio. The book deals with the transition in cultures, the struggle between assimilation and hanging on to the customs of the old country, the fight to make a living in the new country, relations with other immigrants, and relations with Americans. For the immigrants, nothing was more important than family members helping one another. But they were aided by groups such as HIAS and by benevolent individuals who saw promise and ability among the newcomers.
