Dear Pres. Roosevelt

Posted on by

Dear President Roosevelt,
Hi, my name is Isabel. I am an American Jew living in Milwaukee. As a jew, I feel that we should let the passengers of the US St. Louis into America. The people on the ship are trying to commit suicide, they have nowhere else to go except back to Germany, where concentration camps await them. Only 30 of the passengers were allowed into Cuba. Jewish immigrants have done a lot for America and if we don’t let the Jews in we can lose the skills they have. I feel as a Jew we should let all the Jews on the US St. Louis into America.

Sincerely,
Isabel

capstone interview

Posted on by
  1. Who did you interview?

    I interviewed my mom because she is probably the most jewish person in my family.

  1. What is one new thing you learned from this process?

   I did not know that  my mom had a lot of non jewish family i always thought that all of her family was jewish.

  1. Did your interview(s) change you in any way? How so?

It didn’t really change it just kinda made me learn more about my mom like i didn’t know she wanted to be in the military.
