Abstract

Sexual violence against girls and young women may have contributed to the reasons why Jews left Russia in the early 1900s and immigrated to the United States. Acommon feature of anti-Jewish pogroms rape continues today to be an instrument of war and oppression. The author speculates on the reasons why her great grandmother left Russia alone at age 18 to sail for America, and draws connections between her work today and her family herstory.
