To a New World

One summer day in 1937, Jon Bernstein left his home in Budapest, boarded the train to Hamburg, and embarked on a journey to America. He never looked back. In a series of photos and journal entries, this hopeful immigrant recorded his reactions and impressions upon leaving his native soil and envisioning a new life on the North American continent. This book reproduces a selection of those photo, thoughts, and aphorisms, capturing forever the thrill of exploring a New World for the very first time.
