Hi Marged The past holds so many sad stories for so many different nationalities yet many of hope. It's awful that even today people are still persecuted around the globe. I hadn't known of the Jewish exodus of the 1800's, very sad. Thank you for posting. Have a nice day. Eleanor In a message dated 1/16/2011 4:49:11 A.M.

I read a lot of novels about the Jews in America, and it's interesting to know how they managed to make their way there when they had so little money Marj http://www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/index.html Jane No virus found in this outgoing message.
