Along with the incredible view, he spotted German troops crossing the German-Austrian border by instruction from a Nazi group located in Austria to take over the country. My great-grandfather thought to himself, "This is the time to leave." He had previously seen indications of a war stirring where the odds for Jews were not in their favor. However, at this time my great-grandmother, Adele Breth was pregnant with my grandfather, Steven Breth.

Determined for a future with his family, Fred applied for a VISA to the United States of America in March of '38. Four months later, it was approved. The first stop was Sweden; a known neutral country. The family couldn't travel with a pregnant woman, so she decided to wait out the birth there while he went ahead to the USA.

On August 26th, 1938 my grandfather was born in Boros, Sweden. In Boros, a church recorded (in a book) who was born and who died in the town. My grandfather was issued a birth certificate only after he was recorded in the book as being born, and then crossed off as dead.

In November of '38, Adele and Steven Breth fled Europe to begin a new life in the USA. The remaining Jewish family in Czechoslovakia were taken to concentration camps and perished. Besides Fred, Adele and Steven, there was one other survivor; Frank Breth, Freds' brother. He immigrated to Guayaquil, Ecuador to start a new chapter.

Today there are letters written by Fred to his family in Czechoslovakia while he was in the USA in the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. ]]> 2022-08-17 12:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2263229677 Elias' great-grandmother and great-grandfather (a sailor) helps illegally smuggle jews fleeing from Nazi Germany into Sweden - 1940-45 24eliase1 https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2263240356 2022-08-17 12:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2263240356 Elias' grandfather identifies USSR submarine in Swedish archipelago while working as signalman on a destroyer; denied permission to fire - 1950s 24eliase1 https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2263241592 2022-08-17 12:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2263241592 Great-grandfather fighting in WWII and India-Pakistan wars - Nandita 24nanditan1 https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2264312978 My great-grandfather served as a lieutenant in the Indian Army, and fought in the Allied Forces in Italy (against Germany) during world war two.

Hong Kong was under British rule until 1997 when it was returned to China.

Impact-

Grandma moves from China (Shenzhen) to HK for better business and living opportunities, possibly due to British colonization

Father goes to England for university due to being more familiar with the British system (For example, Receiving British style education, British hobbies, and British style of talking).

Impacts my university choices (I may go to England for university). I have also lived and become more familiar with the British system because I have lived in 2 former British colonies where both cultures have been heavily impacted by Britan.

Impacts things that I like (I prefer watching English football) because I am more exposed to English football when I was younger in HK.

Non-Impact:

Didn't impact our food choices. In our family, we don't often drink English tea/ eat English foods, in general, often. Food in HK families is more impacted by the Japanese and Chinese cultures.

Yet, when it was found that there was potential for oil findings in the North Sea, several international companies, including ExxonMobil, Shell, and Phillips looked to gain business in Norway. When oil was finally found on December 23, 1969, a new chapter was made in Norwegian history, pushing the nation toward being the first-world country it is known as today.

When working as a diver for the Norwegian navy, my grandfather was offered a job by Phillips as a diver in the North Sea. There, he would help the Norwegian oil industry by performing manual labor underwater, looking at, for instance, fixing oil pipes. However, the offer was declined due to my grandfather being unwilling to travel back and forth to the North Sea. Today, my family is grateful for this decision, knowing that the work would soon prove challenging and highly dangerous due to the lack of technological aid. In total, 17 Norwegian North Sea divers died between the years 1965 to 1989, with many others experiencing long-term physical damage.

Today, both my father and sister have worked in the Norwegian oil company, Equinor, not as divers, but rather working at their office in Stavanger, Norway. Also, my mother has worked on an oil platform, therefore highlighting the continued impact the oil industry has on Norway today.]]> 2023-01-09 03:20:29 UTC https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2437189165 Elias' great-grandfather leads road construction projects to help the Swedish state deal with mass unemployment - 1929 https://padlet.com/erica_breth1/b249pc51n2o5zv26/wish/2438658699 Due to the Great Depression, the Swedish government's department of work enlisted engineers and construction experts from around the country to give positions to the unemployed.
