Refugee Camps and American Assimilation: My Family's Immigration Story Part 2

About this episode

The episode continues the host's family's immigration story during the 1956 Hungarian revolution.

The year was 1956. My family made a decision that would change everything. Hungary was in the middle of a revolution, and for many families, staying was no longer an option. Welcome to Story Time Part 2. If you didn't get a chance to listen to Part 1 of my family's immigration story, you can certainly go back and listen to that episode before you begin this one.
