I was born in Nizhny Novgorod to a very poor family and unfortunately my father and mother separated when I was very little.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was born in the poor countryside. I was raised in the countryside, planting corn and selling sweets made by my grandmother.
With my mother, I moved from one household to another before settling in the eastern part of Finland, in the city of Kuopio.
My father emigrated from Lithuania to the United States at the age of 12. He received his higher education in New York City and graduated in 1914 from the New York University School of Dentistry. My mother came at the age of 14 from a part of Russia which, after the war, became Poland; she was only 19 when she was married to my father.
I was born in Jerusalem in 1939 to a poor family that shared a rented four-room apartment with two additional families and their children.
My father was an immigrant from Russia and my mother was first generation.
About 1900 my parents came to the United States as children from what was then the Polish area of Russia.
I was born in Iran, left at a very young age - less than a year old - and grew up and was educated in the West.
My parents emigrated from Poland in 1924 with my brother, who was a few months old. They were from a simple family of Polish Jews. They were looking, I suppose, for a better economic life and were escaping from an anti-Semitic environment.
I was born in New York City in 1926, four years after my parents and my brother migrated to the United States from the city of Odessa in Russia.
My grandfather was from outside of Moscow, and my grandmother, although some of her family were French, was from Odessa. They met as immigrants in New York in the early '20s. My mother's family came over from Ireland generations ago.
