In 1922, eleven-year-old Yehuda Weinstein boarded a ship and began a long voyage from his small Russian village to the America, the ?Golden Land.? This detailed narrative reveals what one Russian Jewish family was willing to go through in order to escape persecution in their homeland. A collection of drawings, old black and white photographs, and period postcards give a visual collage of the emotional journey.
