A lovely, sentimental story
7 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
I purchased a copy of this book for a friend whose great grandparents immigrated from Russia and entered the United States through Ellis Island and then purchased one for myself to read aloud to my third grade students. The paintings are beautiful and haunting; some in color, some in sepia tones. The story itself is heartwarming and sentimental.

My Favorite Book
My favorite book was The Memory Coat. Why is this my favorite book? I love this book because at the time I was reading it, we were learning about it in social studies. It was about immigration and how hard it was.
I feel it was very hard to get into the U.S. I think the most interesting part of the story was very sad. It was when they wouldn't let him in because he got a black eye. That was when he hit his eye on a basket. So they wrote an E on his jacket. It stood for eye. He turned his jacket inside out to get into America. That took a lot of courage.

the Memory Coat
17 April 2009
Format:Hardcover
The book, The Memory Coat, is about a Russian family of Jews with an orphan who had lost his mother in an epedimic. His coat was what his mother had crafted out of her own coat and the last thing he can remember her by. His name is Grisha, the family of Jews is his family.
It teaches that Jews were murdered even before the Holocaust. Jews in Russia saw America as a safety from prosecution; most Jewish people sold everything they had to buy a ticket to America most were sent back.
