As stated before, the Korean war was still underway during the time when my grandma Lee came to the U.S, and it greatly affected her and her family, as she lost some family members, and was tortured. My great great grandmother came to the U.S during the great depression, and it was difficult to survive, and difficult for her to work in the conditions it put her under.

My grandma Lee and my grandfather faced quite a few obstacles on their way to the U.S, such as the death of grandma Lee's brother, her torturing,  and giving birth to my aunt on the way to the U.S. She also had to leave everything she had in her old home when they left for the U.S, and when they arrived, she couldn't read or write, and could barely speak english. My great great grandmother's family was poor, and had some trouble supporting the family. Her mother died on the ship to the U.S.

My dad's side of the family (South Korean) came to the U.S. towards the end of the Korean war on July 24, 1953. One of my Grandma Lee's brothers died, she was tortured, but the rest of her family survived. The town she lived in was destroyed.  She and my grandfather Billie Williams came to the U.S on a naval destroyer ship, on which my aunt Rose was born. She had planned to come to the U.S when she married my grandfather. My grandmother Judy Steger and my mother however, always lived in the U.S. When she was young, she lived in Tracy, Minnesota. My great great grandmother came from Germany to the U.S when she was 7. Her and her family were farmers, and lived on the communist side of Germany.
