Summary "Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People" by Israel Zangwill is a novel set in the early 20th century, exploring the lives and struggles of Jewish immigrants in the London Ghetto. The book delves into themes of poverty, identity, and community, portraying the complex social dynamics and cultural heritage of the Jewish people as they navigate life in an urban environment filled with challenges and discrimination. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the character of Esther Ansell, a young girl tasked with fetching soup for her hungry family. We witness her journey through the harsh and squalid streets of the Ghetto, where the experiences of starvation and hardship are contrasted with moments of warmth and resilience. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the community's struggles against poverty, illustrating the sense of camaraderie among its inhabitants, as well as the societal pressures they face. Through the depiction of Esther's home life and her father's inability to provide for the family, Zangwill sets the stage for a story rich with emotional depth and social commentary.
