• I will tell you why my great grandparents moved to Argentina and Michigan. At the time in Eastern Europe it was the early 20th century there was discrimination against all of the Jewish people that lived there. They could not practice their religion. And they were also persecuted.

• In Argentina at that time there were a lot of opportunities. There was freedom of religion and many jobs were available.

• In Detroit the automotive industry was attracting many people because the plants needed a lot of workers to make cars.

• My great grandparents in Argentina had owned a furniture store they made a decent living.

• My American great grand father was tinsmith he sold and repaired metal and tin objects he made a decent living too.
