Generation to Generation: Third Edition, 2026 - Hardcover

by Stanley Papel (Author)

Generation to Generation traces the compelling story of a contemporary Jewish-American family from its origins in Hungary and Lithuania through the immigration to the United States in the late nineteenth century to present day. Covering six generations, the history is narrated by Stanley Papel and his parents, Phil and Sophie Papel. Generation to Generation is both memoir and history, offering insight into middle-class life in the United States in the twentieth century, family entrepreneurship, and the emergence of a gay sensibility from a traditional family milieu.
