The towering modern classic of passion and ambition that forever changed the way we see the courageous immigrants who came to America's shores -- the story of Anna Friedman transfixes us with the turbulent emotions of a woman and her family touched by war, tragedy, and the devastating secrets of one forbidden love... bittersweet and evergreen.
The dramatic saga of Anna Friedman, beautiful and bewitching, who had come to New York at the turn of the century from a Polish stetl. Yearning for a better life, she leaves the sweatshops to find work as a maid in the home of the elegant Werners.
Anna is torn between the love of two men -- aristocratic, Paul Werner, son of the German Jewish banking family and Joseph Friedman, an immigrant as poor as herself.
It is Joseph she marries, and through an act of passion that will follow her always, Anna lifts them from poverty to the real estate-based fortune that founds the Friedman dynasty. Cover of VCR Tape.
