Fannie's immigrant story begins with her birth in 19th century Hungary and ends with her death in 1925, surrounded by the American family she nurtured . Those decades were fraught with religious persecution, national betrayal, world war, mass migration, technological advances, economic depression, disease, death, and poverty. An ordinary woman born into ordinary circumstances, she shared a deep and intimate love, and bore nine children.

Her life speaks to the steadfastness of the human spirit; its ability to adapt and renew, survive, and endure.
