The concepts of Jewish heritage and family history are interwoven throughout the fabric of the text and symbolized in a quilt, which was crafted by Anna’s great grandmother when she immigrated to America. The beautiful quilt symbolizes faith, love, endurance, family traditions, and security as it is passed along for four generations, and the quilt serves a different purpose in each generation.
