About this Quote

This quote by Martin Lewis Perl talks to the experience of his moms and dads, who immigrated to the United States from the Polish area of Russia around the year 1900. This was a time of great turmoil in the region, as the Russian Empire was in the middle of a duration of fast industrialization and modernization. This indicated that many people were leaving their houses in search of much better opportunities elsewhere. For Perl's moms and dads, this implied coming to the United States, a nation that used a chance at a much better life. This quote speaks to the courage and determination of Perl's parents, who were willing to leave their homeland in search of a better future. It also speaks with the significance of immigration in the United States, as it has actually been a significant source of development and prosperity for the nation.
