Wonderful though difficult book

This story tells the story of Jews in Russia experiencing pogroms. The life of the people is described in detail and the Jews and Gentiles live in separate areas and the Jews are poor but have strong families. My grandma came from this era and country and it was painful to read about the injustice and violence. But there's hope. I needed to know what really happened in Russia and now even more appreciate the courage of my ancestors coming to America.
