Description

Ava Feldman (18) interviews her grandmother, Emily Feldman (87) about her experience growing up as a young Jewish girl in Lwow, Poland from 1933-1941. Grandma Emily discusses how she and her mother were able to avoid religious persecution and escape Poland only a few short months before the Germans broke their Non-Aggression Pact with the Soviets in 1941 and subsequently invaded the eastern portion of the country. She describes her fascinating two month journey to the United States through Russia, Japan, and across America during WWII and outlines her life growing up in New York.
