The Book of Knee

The Book Of Knee: 100 Years Of An American Jewish Family Is An Anecdotal And Photographic History Of A Middle-Aged Couple And Their Six Children Who Emigrated To The United States In The 1920S And Found What They Were Looking For: Better Lives For Themselves And Their Children. In A Light-Handed And Sometimes Humorous Way The Book Traces The Family From The Shtetl Of Dembitz Poland Shortly After The End Of World War I To The Present Mostly Through The Memories And Stories Of A Group Of First Cousins Who Spent Many Of The Sundays Of Their Childhoods Together. It Is A Repository Of Family History From Those Who Have Long Passed To Those Who Have Yet To Be Born.
