- Hello! Thank you for joining me in this interview, Poppy!
- Of course! It started in my home, Moscow in Russia!
- We had heard the news of a war and we knew that we would have to find somewhere safe to go, far from Russia.
- I just have to learn some things about your journey to America!
- We ran, drove, we did anything we could to reach safety. But unfortunately my mother was captured by the Russians for being born a German...
- Being pulled by horse through the cold winter was rough. We even got frostbite from the frigid temperatures.
- YOU ARE UNDER ARREST!
- It'll be okay, we be warm soon.
- MOMMA!
- so cold...
- Luckily for her, but not the country, the Nazis had attacked giving her time to escape back to us, resuming our journey.
- Eventually we arrived in Germany after trekking through Poland and other countries. Not yet being overtaken, we found a beautiful place to stay.
- It's so nice here!
- One day, the sirens went off. We first thought it was a mistake, but my mom had a strange feeling so we went to find shelter,
- We scavenged, we survived over the next few years. We had to live in barracks with no bathrooms and no running water. It was terrible.
- It's probably just a test!
- We have to leave this place
- No, we have to go, I don't feel good about this.
- But not even 15 minutes after finding shelter, the bomb came, destroying our home.
- Eventually we left. It took many years, but we were now ready for the biggest journey, to America!
- We'll be there soon...
- The journey was long and sometimes dangerous with the reoccurring threat of storms.
- Soon, we arrived at the loading docks for the SS America. This ship would transport us across the ocean to America!
- AHHH!!
- We made it! I was so happy and amazed with the beauty of America. It was a relief to finally be there.
- Then, we were off!
- Hooray!
- The transition was hard, but I was still happy regardless!
- Thank you! I always feel a little more complete telling someone else my story.
- Bye!
- Thank you so much for taking time to do this. I learned a lot of new things about you!
- THE END
