He came to this country on a ship to New York city. He came to this country because in Europe, people believed that the streets were lined with gold, so you could come here and be rich . My grandmother on my father's side immigrated to the U.S. in 1957 from Israel when she was 19 years old. She moved from Iran to Israel because the country turned against Jewish people, and then came to the United States for a better life even though most of her family stayed behind in Israel.]]> 2019-05-08 20:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/358237075 What were the obstacles that they met? 935988 https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/358238736 My great grandfather was very poor when he came to this country, which of course was an obstacle that he had to overcome.

It was the end of the largest immigration period we've ever had. It was also the end of the progressive era. in 1957, it was one of the most peaceful times for our country, and the economy was great. There were no wars occurring at this time.]]> 2019-05-08 20:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/358238799 When my great grandfather came to the US, he saw the Statue of Liberty when he passed it on the ship. 935988 https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/359038911 2019-05-10 21:10:51 UTC https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/359038911 To get to Israel from Iran, my grandmother had to ride in the back of a potato truck with her mother. 935988 https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/359665996 2019-05-13 20:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/359665996 935988 https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/359669440 2019-05-13 20:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/935988/t8cpwksjfk4v/wish/359669440
