Many of you have met my parents at one family event or another.

After my parent's recent trip to England for the Kindertransport 75th Renuion, my father was interviewed by the local Jewish paper, and they wrote up this long and very expressive interview. Leave a comment

It's pretty much a historical surprise that my family is here...

Fascinating story. The writer really grabs your attention with the first paragraph.

Yes, that's a pretty amazing way to start. It didn't mean much to me until I looked down at my own 9 month old daughter and realized just how completely desperate you'd have to be to take that risk.
