Series I: Myer Starr Papers, undated

This collection contains the unpublished memoirs of Myer Starr, a Jewish immigrant from the Ukraine who owned a laundry service in the greater Boston area. Starr's memoir not only addresses his personal life but the life of Jews living in the Ukraine under the Tsarist government in the late 19^th and early 20^th century. Unfortunately, the names of his wife, children, parents and siblings are not mentioned, and little information is known about them.
