Greetings:
I thought that some "here" might be interested in the book aimed at young
adults, "Bessie's Pillow," by Linda Bress Silbert.
"Twenty Million Immigrants came to America between 1880 and 1924.
Most would come from Eastern and Southern Europe, others from Asia and Latin
America.
They passed their stories of struggle and triumph down to us, their children
and grandchildren. Bessie Markman, one those immigrants, left Lithuania in 1906
to get away from persecution against Jewish people by the Russians and to find
a new life in New York. Writing her story was passed on to her granddaughter
Linda Silbert."
Here’s a website for more information is http://bessiespillow.com
And there is a teacher resources page:
