Out of the Shadow

In Out of the Shadow, we delve into the poignant autobiography of Rose Cohen, a Russian Jewish girl who bravely immigrates with her family to New York Citys Lower East Side. Through her eyes, we witness the harsh realities of life in garment sweatshops, the struggles of tenement living, and the challenges posed by illness and a diminishing faith. Roses story paints a vivid picture of the hopes and frustrations faced by an immigrant Jewish family as they navigate the complexities of adapting to American life. (Celine Major)
