Children of the Ghetto by Israel Zangwill was published in 1892.

Zangwill's portrayal of the uncertain situation of 'his people,' which all too often had been painted in dreadfully sombre tones by earnest social reformers and drum-beating evangelists, is insightfully told with affectionate honesty and wryness of humour.
