The Harness Maker's Dream

Follows the story of Ukrainian immigrant Nathan Kallison's journey to the US in search of a brighter future. At the turn of the twentieth century, over two million Jews emigrated from Czarist Russia and Eastern Europe to escape anti-Semitic law. Seventeen-year-old Kallison and his brothers were among those brave enough to pursue a life of freedom by leaving their homeland in 1890. The son of Nathan Kallison's daughter Tibe, author Nick Kotz provides a moving account of his ancestors' search for the American dream.
