reviewed Shutting Out the Sky on April 06, 2017 Shutting Out the Sky
Life in the Tenements of NY follows the lives of 5 immigrant kids and their families as they try to assimilate, learn the language, become accustomed to the severe living conditions and deal with their older parents and all the road blocks to making it - not only in America but in one of the toughest cities in the world.
As a genealogist, the social history is invaluable, the photographs add enormously to the story and to understanding the minutiae of daily life and allow us to enter their world and get a peek at life in a tenement during the turn of the century.
