Feild trip reflection

Part 1:
From Haven to Home- This museum was very interesting. I learned a lot about Jewish people and their hardships to come to America. I think that in every time period there are some type of people that are being discriminated against. In the museum there were a lot of pictures of people that were Jewish and famous. The inventors of the bagel and Barbie’s were in there. There were a lot more but I forget them.
In the beginning of the exhibit it explained the hardships that the Jewish people had to get over here in America. I think that coming over here to America was worth it though. Jewish people were being discriminated against in other countries and not here. I mean I would do anything not to be discriminated against. If I was a Jewish person living in that time period I would totally travel over here to the US.
In 1790, president George Washington stated, "Shall give to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance." By the 1860's the Jews were still fighting for their religious rights and the Civil War broke out. By that time in history, 7 thousand Jews fought for the north and liberty from slavery, while 3 thousand fought in the southern regions. We learned this and more history about Jewish people when we were in the exhibit.
Part 2:
Children of immigrants- Quote: The greatest thing I hope for in my life is to become a successful person and to have a family and friends to support me, not to be looked at by the color of my skin but who I am inside.” -Samira Durakovic, Yogoslavia. I think that this is a good quote because I believe in this quote. You personally may not but I think that this person speaks the truth. I think that in the future I will be successful or at least I hope to be.
Picture: For my picture I choose a mother holding her child in an airport and you look at it and you feel sad for this mother and child. I think that they were waiting for their plane to come to the US. I think that this was also a very meaning full picture because the face on the child just looked sad and it is one of those things that stick with you for a long time.
