From Plotzk to Boston by Mary Antin
"From Plotzk to Boston" by Mary Antin is a memoir published in 1899. It chronicles Antin's emigration from Polotsk in the Russian Empire to the United States in 1894, when she was thirteen years old. Originally written as letters to her uncle in Yiddish, the work describes her family's arduous journey across Europe and the Atlantic, capturing their encounters with bureaucratic obstacles, cultural shock, and harsh travel conditions, before concluding with an
emotional reunion in Boston. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
