I also got here because my paternal grandmother and my paternal and maternal great grandparents came on boats from Poland. Your tale has me curious about the deeper details…What exactly did they do to get here? What were they escaping and/or seeking? What were their living conditions? 🙏
Of course. I’m going home for the holidays next week and hope to take some time to ask my parents more questions about their ancestors. I’ve heard some of it, and there’s lots they don’t know either, but you have me curious.
I haven't read the Demi Moore memoir, but the question makes a great writing prompt for finding out more about my own story. I love the three answers you wrote and look forward to reading more!

Oooh, Wendy, this is just one grandfather's story. There's so much I don't know, and honestly, will never know.

Yes, definitely do it now.

Thank you, Jill. The first time I read that part of the book it felt like I had stuck my finger in an electric socket, it resonated so much with me.
Excellent, Lisa. This provides food for thought as I work on my own memoir!
Thank you, Sandy.
