Fun fact: Bernie Sanders can run in Polish presidential elections. In Poland to easily get Polish citizenship one of your parents also needs to have Polish citizenship, and since his father was a Polish Jew this is just a technicality. All he'd need is 100,000 signatures.

Bernie has more than repaid this country for giving his dad safe harbor. A son to be proud of to be sure.

Bernie said his dad wasn't a flag-waving type, but "he loved this country in a very, very deep way." I think it's time for the chronic flag-wavers, and not much else, to put down those flags and put their focus on what the flag represents. They seem to have "forgotten".

This is a great reminder to know our roots. I often try to place myself in my mother's shoes back in 1951 when they bombed her Korean village. She lost her family in that war and lost more when she came to America. She'll never be the same person and still can't talk on it, but I like to research that war so that I don't forget the trauma that built this woman of steel. One day, maybe she'll be healed enough to talk about it and release it from herself.

Before he became Elias Sanders, he was Elye (Eliyahu) Gitman, the son of Yehuda, born in Stopnica, Galicia (by then, under the hegemony of the Imperial Russia). On May 26, 1921, he made his way to Antwerp, Belgium and boarded the SS Lapland, which brought him to New York City on June 5, 1921. There he joined his maternal uncle, Abraham Louis Horn, in Brooklyn. How he got Sanders from Gitman is another story.

This is interesting as my paternal grandmother's mother also came from Galicia to NYC in the early 1900s and died not long after in the Flu Pandemic of 1918 on the Lower East Side. She had just given birth to my late grandmother in a tenement a few days earlier. As she and her husband worked in sweatshops in the garment district like many Jewish immigrants, they had very little money and she was buried in a cemetery for indigent Jews on Staten Island where her headstone still stands. My grandmother was adopted by a Jewish couple from Chicago after a year in some sort of orphanage. It was extremely difficult to get her history as NY is a closed adoption state but we were able to do it when she was in her 90s due to a new law for those born before 1920. Thank you for sharing Bernie's ancestry as it mimics part of mine that no one heard about. I only knew his father was from Poland but seeing that Galicia turned into part of Poland and Ukraine, this makes sense.
