Description

Published in 1912, this classic autobiography moves from the harsh repression and brutal pogroms of anti-Semitic Russia to the opportunities and challenges of life in America.  "I began life in the Middle Ages," the twenty-nine-year-old Antin writes, "and here am I still, your contemporary in the twentieth century, thrilling with your latest thought."
