Description
Al Davis’s grandparents emigrated from Eastern Europe in the early 20th century to escape persecution and live the dreams of freedom and opportunity that only America could provide. They arrived with nothing, not even the ability to speak English, yet they produced hundreds of descendants including scholars, scientists, and medical professionals. Join us for this photographic and story-filled adventure to Belarus and Poland as Davis returns to the shtetls of his ancestors.
