"How does one write a family story, a memoir? My grandparents left Turkey for America in 1924. The story is that they got to America, raised their family including my mother and she married and had me. Is that the story? Or is the story that the ship that pulled them to America, pulled me in its wake as well. If I want to know myself, I must go back and trace their journey." From How To Write a Memoir by Judy Belsky, originally published in Yated Neeman |
