"This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the real voices and stories of Slovak men and women who left their simple lives and tried to adapt to the industrial world. Forty-four Slovak descendants tell of the hardships and sacrifices their families endured to escape the lack of freedom, hunger, and disease. Their stories continue in Volume 2 - which I am anxious to read!"
