{"product_id":"2940169636079","title":"Unfinished People: Eastern European Jews Encounter America","description":"\u003cp class=\"DefaultText\"\u003eNearly three million Jews came to America from Eastern Europe between 1880 and the outbreak of World War I, filled with the hope of life in a new land. Most were young, single, uneducated, and unskilled; many were children or teens. They were, in a sense, unfinished citizens of either the old or the new world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"DefaultText\"\u003eWithin two generations, these newcomers settled and prospered in the densely populated Yiddish-speaking neighborhoods of New York City. Against this backdrop, Ruth Gay narrates their rarely told story, bringing alive the vitality of the streets, markets, schools, synagogues, and tenement halls where a new version of America was invented in the 1920s and 30s. An intimate, unforgettable account, \u003cem\u003eUnfinished People\u003c\/em\u003e is a unique and vibrant portrait of a resilient people in their daily trials and rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098080919792,"sku":"2940169636079","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169636079_p0.jpg?v=1769897587","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169636079","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
