A spellbinding story of Jewish life in the ghettos of Esfahan, Iran during the 19th and 20th centuries, and their journey from the depth of poverty, discrimination, illiteracy, sickness and famine to the sweet pinnacle of success in the United States. A true account of love, hate, adultery, family feuds, murder and finally the Jews shedding their shackles of prejudice beginning in the early 20th century. Nematollah Shakib takes the reader through the history of Iran transitioning from corrupt dictatorial kings of the Qajar Dynasty to some semblance of constitutional government and ending in a secular government during the Pahlavi Dynasty. This resulted in the minorities to excel to wealth and prominence. The author published several books in Farsi in Iran. He completed this book at the time of the 1979 Revolution in Iran. He continually published articles in Iranian magazines in print outside of Iran until his death in 1993. His writings included politics, social issues, history and discussions regarding the Torah.
