Written, For My Immigrant Grandparents . I’m ½ Irish and ½ Jewish. Thank You For immigrating to America.
My Jewish Grandfather, immigrated about 1880. He worked as a book binder, on 10th Ave NYC. In an unheated warehouse. Without even a bench, to sit on.
My Irish Grandfather, immigrated to America about 1900. He worked on the Jersey City Railroad. Unloading boxcars with a big hook. He and his fellow workers sweltered in the summer and froze in the winter. My Mother’s words.
