Like countless others who made this journey from \"non-preferred\" countries, Eisenstein was only granted entry because he claimed to be single, starting his new life with a lie. He trusted that his wife and children would be able to follow after he had gained legal entry and found work. For years, he was given two choices: remain in North America alone, or return home to Poland to be with his family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn from years of archival research, \u003ci\u003eWho Gets In\u003c\/i\u003e is author Norman Ravvin's deeply personal family memoir, telling the story of his grandfather's resolute struggle against xenophobic and anti-Semitic government policies.
