Summary: "From Plotzk to Boston" by Mary Antin is a memoir written in the late 19th century. This autobiographical account narrates the author's journey as a Jewish immigrant from the small town of Plotzk in Poland to Boston, Massachusetts, capturing the experience of emigration during a significant wave of Jewish migration to America seeking freedom and better opportunities. The book details the emotional and physical challenges Mary and her family face throughout their journey. Starting from the tearful goodbye at the train station in Plotzk, the narrative unfolds as they navigate through various towns and encounter roadblocks, from bureaucratic hurdles at border crossings to the harsh realities of quarantine in Germany.
