I love that story. Apparently I look like my great-granny.
She was called Nelly.

I don't think there's any other interesting stories. Great-grandaddy won the Iron Cross for fighting while wounded on the Somme (I think), then got put into a workcamp, got out on a British visa, and got thrown into an alien camp here.

My grandaddy wanted to be a doctor, but his mother told him Israel had too many doctors, so he should become a horticulturist instead, as that was more important.
So he did.

How does the whole American thing work into that story then?
