About this ebook
Experience life as a young girl of Lithuanian immigrant parents in New York in the 1920's. It was a time of silent movies, horses pulling coffins in the street, live poultry markets, vineyards, gaslight and Russian's tending the bee houses next door. Some things are familiar, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, family gatherings, stern nuns in Catholic schools, and the catty comeuppances of young girls. But the differences are striking, two dollars a week for 16 hours work a day, candles on the Christmas tree, death at home from tuberculosis, and the graphic presentation in the local theater of the electrocution of Ruth Snyder. Please enjoy the history and the tender human insights that Anne offers in this book of her memoirs.
