Nili Gold, who was born in Haifa to German-speaking parents in 1948, the first year of Israeli statehood, here offers a remarkable homage to her native city during its heyday as an international port and cultural center.

Young, educated and Jewish, she must accept the limits imposed on her by a class-conscious, increasingly anti-Semitic society.
