Dear Lady Liberty,
The Statue of Liberty is important to me because I know it is the
first thing that my great-grandmother saw when she came to this
country. She was only 12 years old, my exact age, and she was
fleeing Poland, a country where she was being persecuted.
Poland was not a friendly country for the Jews, like my great-
grandmother. She constantly had to worry about being beaten up by
policemen for no reason. There were often "pogroms," which were when
the people of the town decided to invade the Jewish areas and
ransack the homes and kill Jews for no reason as well. The Jews
lived in constant fear of being attacked, robbed or killed just
because they were Jewish.
My great-grandmother wanted to live in a country and raise her
children in a place where there was freedom and no fear. She knew
she could walk the streets here with a clear head and a hope for
opportunity. When my great-grandmother looked at Lady Liberty, she
saw a beautiful woman who held out her arm to welcome her and tell
her that her children, her grandchildren and great-grandchildren
would live freely and thrive here. So when my great-grandmother saw
Lady Liberty and smiled at her, I am sure she felt the statue
smiling back at her for more reasons than one.
