Download My Polish Grandmother: from Tragedy in Poland to her Rose Garden in America Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book is about a Polish grandmother. The story in this book is different from many immigrant stories because I tell it from the perspective of a woman. The story asks questions about her fears and challenges in growing up, immigrating to America and making a new life. In writing my grandmother's story, I wanted to go beyond the names, dates, and pictures in the albums. She was more than that. It is crucial to ask why she did what she did. Hopefully, this story will give the reader insights that will help them understand their immigrant ancestors more. As you read this story ask the same questions about your ancestors. If you do, your view of your family history will definitely change.

Where did Anna get her strength? She was the youngest daughter of a Polish farmer and very small physically. However, she was always in command when she was in the room. The story in this book of Anna's life is different from many stories of immigrants because it is told from the perspective of a woman. This book tells about the life of a Polish immigrant from the Russian partition of Poland. It describes the area where she was born, her early life and the tragedy before she left for America. Somehow, she overcame the challenges of travel across the Atlantic to the United States and found the strength to build a new family without the support of any her Polish family being near. I believe that she gained her strength from the tragedy of her early life in Poland and the challenges she overcame to start her new life in America. She worked hard each day but still had time to be happy from her garden and her family.The story asks questions about Anna's fears in making these changes and hopefully will give the reader insights that will help them understand their immigrant ancestors more.In writing my grandmother's story I wanted to go beyond the names, dates and pictures in the albums.

Pura Belpré Award Winner Ruth Behar's inspiring story of a Jewish girl who escapes Poland to make a new life in Cuba, where she works to rescue the rest of her family The situation is getting dire for Jews in Poland on the eve of World War II. Esther's father has fled to Cuba, and she is the first one to join him. It's heartbreaking to be separated from her beloved sister, so Esther promises to write down everything that happens until they're reunited. And she does, recording both the good--the kindness of the Cuban people and her discovery of a valuable hidden talent--and the bad: the fact that Nazism has found a foothold even in Cuba. Esther's evocative letters are full of her appreciation for life and reveal a resourceful, determined girl with a rare ability to bring people together, all the while striving to get the rest of their family out of Poland before it's too late. Based on Ruth Behar's family history, this compelling story celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the most challenging times.

In 2009, Rachael Cerrotti, a college student pursuing a career in photojournalism, asked her grandmother, Hana, if she could record her story. Rachael knew that her grandmother was a Holocaust survivor and the only one in her family alive at the end of the war. Rachael also knew that she survived because of the kindness of strangers. It wasn’t a secret. Hana spoke about her history publicly and regularly. But, Rachael wanted to document it as only a granddaughter could. So, that’s what they did: Hana talked and Rachael wrote. Upon Hana’s passing in 2010, Rachael discovered an incredible archive of her life. There were preserved albums and hundreds of photographs dating back to the 1920s. There were letters waiting to be translated, journals, diaries, deportation and immigration papers as well as creative writings from various stages of Hana’s life. Rachael digitized and organized it all, plucking it from the past and placing it into her present. Then, she began retracing her grandmother’s story, following her through Central Europe, Scandinavia, and across the United States. She tracked down the descendants of those who helped save her grandmother’s life during the war. Rachael went in pursuit of her grandmother’s memory to explore how the retelling of family stories becomes the history itself. We Share the Same Sky weaves together the stories of these two young women—Hana as a refugee who remains one step ahead of the Nazis at every turn, and Rachael, whose insatiable curiosity to touch the past guides her into the lives of countless strangers, bringing her love and tragic loss. Throughout the course of her twenties, Hana’s history becomes a guidebook for Rachael in how to live a life empowered by grief.
