Struggling to learn a new language and cope with a different way of life in the United States, Rivke finds herself keeping a journal about the challenges and opportunities of this new land. In her attempt to find a new life as a Jewish immigrant in the US, Rivke shares the stories of losing her mother to a bombing in Lublin, jilting a fiancé who has made his way to Palestine, and a flirtatious relationship with an American \"allrightnik.\"In this fictionalized journal originally published in Yiddish, author Kadya Molodovsy provides keen insight into the day-to-day activities of the large immigrant Jewish community of New York. By depicting one woman's struggles as a Jewish refugee in the US during WWII, Molodovsky points readers to the social, political, and cultural tensions of that time and place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695148073248,"sku":"NEW0253040752","price":84.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91J-y2YtYoL.jpg?v=1779380572","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-jewish-refugee-in-new-york-rivke-zilbergs-journal-the-modern-jewish-experience-0253040752","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
