Summary: "Ghetto Tragedies" by Israel Zangwill is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book explores the challenges and struggles faced by Jewish individuals living in ghettos, highlighting themes of faith, family, and identity. It delves deeply into the lives of its characters, emphasizing the emotional and social hardships they endure. The opening of "Ghetto Tragedies" introduces us to Zillah and Jossel, a Jewish couple living in London's East End, who have long desired a child. After a year of fasting and prayer, Zillah gives birth to a son, whom they name Brum. Despite their happiness, the family grapples with Brum's frail health and eventual blindness, which tests their faith and resilience. As they confront societal pressures and the struggle between tradition and modernity, their story sets the stage for a poignant examination of the trials faced by those in the ghetto.
