Haven to Home

This exhibit struck me because it was talking about the Jewish culture how they were living and it was sad to me because I wouldn’t want to go through these Jewish people was going through at this time. This one street which is called “Golden Land” these people had children begging for food to help their family get back on their foot. Everyone knew each other, but they were out in the streets doing things a kid shouldn’t do. When Martin L King came to help out some Jewish families to get them in an area that they can carry them self at was excited to me. Also he did help the African American people as well. Their beliefs were very serious, because that were their culture they had to follow like the Omar Calendar. Were important because they needed to know what happened each day if something was important to them.
The markets they had for food was expensive. The restaurants were very expensive because everyone goes there to eat fresh meat. Only problem is that they couldn’t have diary food on the same plate as the meat. Because I believe to them is bad luck, this one guy had thrown a banquet, in honor for their family. They had invited some friends over, and the people at the restaurant were very selfish about their meat. Just being every rude to the friends they had invited to. Plus if you go to the markets it’s going to cost 18 cents for the meat. Some people couldn’t afford it which was sad because they had to work extra hard to help their family have food for the day.
This on guy had opened up a public service where to have free classes to learn how to speak English. So the children at the classes can learn how to read, write and speak English to other children. This is important, if someone would go to America, to speak English to people there as well.
This man named Benjamin Bugsy Sigel, was one of the gangster in America and a Jewish gangster. He started Las Vegas has his own hotel called the Flamingo in Las Vegas it’s a tall statue and he started a casino in Las Vegas as well.

Children Immigrants


“When I left my country Vietnam I didn’t know that I would probably never came back again. I was just 10 years old. I knew my life would begin from this moment.”
Ngoe Nguyen, Vietnam from between cultures.
My favorite picture is boy on the playground.
What this picture is about, this Asian boy is on a playground and his sitting down. With his hand on his cheek just dreaming. What I think he is doing and thinking about is a dream house with all the things he can have in a house. Livings like an American kid, but he can’t have the things he wishes. This photo struck me the most. Because if you look at this photo, you would feel sad looking at something this Asian boy wishes to have. But he can’t because he isn’t living like he wishes he should be living.
