Miriam discusses her voyage to America.
We came, uh, on a ship. And I remember coming and I could speak a little English, so I was able to talk to the sailors, and I also played the piano, and they taught me some American songs. And I would play and sing. And I remember when we came here we had to stay on the ship an extra day because we came on Thanksgiving day and the immigration office was closed. So the captain of the ship had a Thanksgiving dinner for us and explained Thanksgiving and what it meant and Thanksgiving was always a special holiday for my family because, you know, it was really a day of giving thanks for being here.
