It is important to keep pictures so we don't forget our ancestors. It is nice to see the resemblances so we can see who we look like and where we came from.
Pictures are important because those people are all together, and when you look at them you remember the times you spent with that person. You also learn about history during that time period.
This picture is a symbol of the long, unbroken chain of Jewish people in my family that he was part of. My Hebrew middle name, Ephraim, was chosen to honor his daughter, Fannie.
This postcard was part of the Jewish Museum of Eastern Pennsylvania in conjunction with B'nai B'rith Klutznick Museum’s traveling exhibit Baseball Hall of Fame.
It shows the strength of this family to survive through the Holocaust and coming to America as immigrants. Not only that but we still have a smile on our faces today.
It is a very special picture because my mother really loved her grandparents, and my two brothers (Sean and Ryan) were named after them.
This photo has significance to Jewish heritage because it shows two young Jewish adults who immigrated to America from Russia in the early part of the twentieth century. Great grandma Rae came in 1915 at the age of 9. Great Grandpa Sam came to the US in 1912 at the age of 13. My great grandmother came with her mother and father, and my great grandfather came with his father because the rest of his family was already in the US. They came to this country because their lives in Russia were harsh and they couldn't find jobs or have a good life.
