The other day I was watching a movie called, everything is illuminated. This movie has to be one of my favorites. This movie is a about a young American Jewish man who traveled to the Ukraine to look for a women who saved his grandfather is WW2. There is one scene in this movie when they are driving through a Ukraine country side at dusk. The trees and the grass looked so green and lush. It looked absolutely beautiful.
When I first watched this movie, I was doing a project for Hebrew school on Jews from the Ukraine. I chose the Ukraine because my great grandfather from my grandmother’s side came to the US. The reason why Nate, my great grandfather, came to the US was because back home the rest of his family was either dying from starvation or disease. Watching the movie made me want to learn as much as I could about Nate and hopefully one day to be able to travel to the Ukraine and see where he came from.
Nice entry! I've always wanted to visit Ukraine too because I'm Ukrainian and I'd like to see where my grandparents were from. It's so cool that you're part Ukrainian too!!
