Immigrants… first refugees of the third wave of immigration…Who were they? Why have they fled to the USA? How were they able to escape a country with “an iron curtain”?
Every family of these immigrants had their own story, their concerns, and now, only the memories of them. A little more time will pass, all of this will be forgotten, and the new generation born in this country will forget the severe trials, which their Christian parents went through. But these stories have so many useful lessons for the future generations!
In order to preserve at least some of these stories, we created this page, where some the stories of the first immigrants of the third wave of immigration will be published.
If you know people whose stories are interesting and instructive, please let us know (email:
