Hello!
My name is Katarina.
I am from Hungary.
My father was a teacher of history and my mother was a seamstress.
We would spend many long cold winter evenings around the fireplace, listening to my father talk about the history of our country, and my mother would be mending our socks.
Ours was a very happy, peaceful life until the war came.
My father felt he had to go to war and fight.
My mother waited for two years, but he never returned.
My mother decided to bring me to America.
The ocean voyage was very long and my mother became ill and died.
I arrived safely in New York and I am very glad to be alive.
Nevertheless, I am homeless and alone.
With Your Love,
Katarina |
