really liked it

A riveting account of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911 by its oldest living survivor, Esther Gottesfeld. The story includes the reflections of her granddaughter, who is rather perturbed by the historian who seems obsessed with getting to the bottom of that tragic day. Secrets unfold throughout the story and climax at the very end. Great insights into the class struggles of the newly arrived immigrants, many of the fire's victims were Eastern European Jewish immigrants, and the German higher class Jews who owned the factory.
