Barbara Feigin is an amazing woman who has written about her life, all so her children would know their history, especially since discovering she didn't know much about her parents' history. Barbara's story is encouraging - about life, but also about sharing our own stories with our family. Barbara's story is the immigration story, one honoring the invaluable contributions of immigrants to the country. Her parents escaped Germany in WWII, making a 17-day train journey through Eastern Europe to Yokohama, to board a ship that brought them to Seattle. Barbara was 2 years old when the family arrived stateside, settling in Chehalis. Barbara went to Whitman College, then onto Harvard Business School. Barbara shares her story in "My American Dream: A Journey from Fascism to Freedom."
