Uplift Your Life: Nourishment Of The Spirit

Immigration is a source of great controversy and outrage in the USA with ramifications worldwide. We have forgotten that everyone, except for Native Americans, were immigrants at one time. Some came looking for a better life, but most of our ancestors came out of desperation. They fled famine, war, prejudice, and the threat of annihilation with the hope of finding freedom in the USA. My guest’s father was one such man. In 1938, at 13, he fled Austria to escape Hitler’s grip. He and his friend walked across Austria, Germany and Holland, mostly at night to avoid detection. They had no food, money or a map. It took them 3 months to walk over 900 miles with only a compass and courage to guide them. They stowed away on a boat to reach England and then he made his way to the USA where he earned money to bring his family over. At 70 he lost all his money and at 82 retired as a millionaire. Please join us Thursday to hear his legacy of courage, inspiration, tenacity, freedom and success.
