Exibits Reflection

Part 1: From Haven to Home
When we went to this exhibit in class I really was astounded by the about of history that Jewish people have in America, I never really thought that they came to America until after World War II. I saw a lot of things that made me more conscience of their culture like how there was an add campaign a while ago that promoted different races getting along better. I thought that this exhibit was really important because it makes more people aware of what they, and all immigrants for that matter, have to go to even once they get to the United States they have a lot of trouble. I think that’s this exhibit really completes its purpose because it travels the world telling more about the hardships of immigrants.
Part 2: Children of Immigrants
1. I saw photo of some girls walking through the streets of New York with traditional Mexican dresses on and as I read the caption I saw that they were the only ones in the picture celebrating Mexican Independence Day. I saw that other people in the picture were looking at them and this made me feel like they were all alone. I thought that they were worried about what people thought.
2. "America has everything we need: technology, goods. At least one person from every nation lives here. People immigrate to America because they know it's a land of freedom and a better life. I see America as the land of opportunities" from Tamara Frank from Poland. I thought that this quote really cause me to look at the way America really is and how it gives immigrants a sense of hope when they come over like they can accomplish anything.
3. I read a essay about a girls family and how they were treated in America and it made me really sad to see that she was sad in some of it. But she was also grateful that her family wasn’t poor and her parents had jobs which really made me feel for her.
