Liked your article acknowledging the slim odds of being born in America and the relative luxury we enjoy here: pity the sentiment is not more prominent in our public discourse.
Beautifully written. There’s a fantastic podcast called Low Ancestry where an amateur genealogist works through historic records to tell the stories of her family. A lot of similar immigrations stories there. Worth checking out for similar stories and takeaways.
Thank you for posting this. I have a similar family background and also similar thoughts about the sheer horror we are now witnessing in this country. We must all find ways to fight these acts of fascism.
