Publisher's Synopsis

Looks back to an earlier era of care for orphaned and dependent children of Eastern European Jewish immigrants. Within this social history and ethnography, the voices of elders - once wards of the home in the 1930s and 1940s - tell readers what it was really like to grow up in an orphanage.
