Heading Back Into Time - An Oral History with Inna Berman
Throughout this project, I have had the pleasure of interviewing a long time resident of Daly City, Inna Berman. She immigrated from Ukraine in 1989 during her teenage years; she has been able to start her family, raise two children and live happily in Daly City for 20+ years. During this interview I learned a great deal about what it meant to live in Daly City and what the average day was like. Most importantly, this interview helped to answer the longing question: Why do Immigrants come to the United States, if they become nostalgic and homesick after extended periods of time? Inna led me through that particular question and explained that she was no longer satisfied with her life in Odessa, Ukraine, for she was seeking material wealth and a safe and positive future for her family. I hope you enjoy the interview, which was conducted just a few blocks from the Berman home near Westlake in Daly City. Sadly, it is audio only. Enjoy!
Here is the interview.
