From Plotzk to Boston by Mary Antin (Text Synchronized Audiobook™)

iClassix, bringing classical literary works to your iPhone.

An intensely personal account of the immigration experience as related by a young Jewish girl from Plotzk (a town in the government

of Vitebsk, Russia). Mary Antin, with her mother, sisters, and brother, set out from Plotzk in 1894 to join their father, who had

journeyed to the “Promised Land” of America three years before. Fourth class railroad cars packed to suffocation, corrupt crossing

guards, luggage and persons crudely “disinfected” by German officials who feared the cholera, locked “quarantine” portside, and,

finally, the steamer voyage and a famiily reunited. For anyone who has ever wondered what it was like for their grandparents or

great grandparents to emmigrate from Europe to the United States last century, this is a fascinating narrative. Mary Antin went on

to become an immigration rights activist. She also wrote an autobiography, The Promised Land, published in 1912, which detailed her

assimilation into American culture.
