The co-op bookstore for avid readers
First to Hamburg
The journey to America for many began from small villages in Europe. It was from these villages that those seeking better lives made their way to port cities throughout the continent. Situated on the Elbe River, Hamburg was one such port where many of the hopefuls arrived. The author tells of the journeys of a number of her relatives who were among those who came through Hamburg for the start of new lives. An intense interest in family history led the author to that very city, where the stories for her came alive. You'll meet Sadie, who traveled alone and waited in the United States for the arrival of the rest of her family several years later. You'll meet Max, whose hopes and dreams were cut short. And you'll meet the author, viewing her relatives through her eyes. The artwork and thought provoking text make for a reflective and enjoyable read.
