Program Description
Leah, a ten year old Russian Jewish girl growing up in a shtetl at the turn of the 20th century, dreams of going to school like her brothers. When her brother deserts the Czar's army, Leah's family faces a long, risky journey through Russia to their ship in Germany and across the Atlantic to NY. But when Leah alone is detained at Ellis Island, she must confront her biggest obstacle yet -- what if she is sent back? Living Voices virtual options also available.
