A Jewish Girl Finds New Roots
No Customer Reviews
The poems include touchingly
romantic and sad expressions of Steffi's youthful idealism and more recent
humorous epistles. "My first Year in Eretz Israel" picks up the story
where her previous book Jewish Girl in the Weimar Republic ends, with Steffi's
arrival in 1934 at what was then Palestine. It is a lively description of the
Jewish agricultural settlers who came to Palestine in the early 1930's.
"The Sekilaridis House" describes Steffi's marriage to a Roman
Catholic Armenian, and their adventures in the multicultural society of
Jerusalem in the British Mandate of Palestine during World War II. "The
Teeth of Polycrates" is a satirical story about good luck that takes place
on the ship traveling from Brazil to the USA. "How I became a Teacher"
describes Steffi's life in Zion, Illinois, and her enthusiastic achievement of
becoming a school teacher. "The Ones that Got Away" describes
Steffi's project of collecting biographies of survivors of the Nazi Holocaust -
showing how they overcame suffering, found satisfying new roots, and became
successful contributors in countries to which they emigrated.
