The article I choose titled "The Promised Land" by Mary Antin she writes of her own experiences as a Jewish child in Russia. She explains how awfully their treatment was from the Russians. She learned from a young age when a young Russian boy threw mud at her and the only thing her mother could do is say "Vanka is a gentile. The Gentiles do as they like with us Jews"(Antin,5). Education in Russia for the Jewish children was also a fight only 10 Jewish kids to every 100 non Jewish were allowed into schools, kids were also kidnapped and raised by Gentile families till they were old enough to enter the army. She then describes her transition to America where the education was free and the opportunities endless.
