In this interesting autobiography we get a very candid look into the life of Rose Cohen, a Russian Jewish girl who immigrates from Russia to the Lower East Side of New York city with her family.
From the deplorable conditions in the garment sweatshops, life in the tenements, the setbacks due to poor health and the slow weakening of the family's faith she provides us with a vivid insight into the hopes and frustrations of an immigrant Jewish family adapting to American life.

I add my deep thanks to Celine and Librivox for making this fascinating account of the immigrant story in the Lower East Side available. Rose Cohen’s writing is clear and compelling, a rare window into circumstances rarely recorded first hand. A must listen for anyone interested in this chapter in the American immigrant story and the Lower East Side when it was producing a great proportion of garments sold and exported from the US from the perspectiv of those who made it possible.

A big thankyou to Celine Major for her reading of this memoir of "how the other half lives" by one who lived it.
