I really liked this video very much

I enjoyed this one the most so far. Her Oddessy through Europe to get to America was similar to what my grandmother went through so I could relate to it. Also, her Yiddish sounds a lot like the accent I heard growing up so I was able to understand a lot more than was the case with some of the others. It would have been nice to have had her for a professor.
