The librarian, the one from Highland Avenue, told me, \"As long as they read, it doesn't matter.\" She said, \"That was good for you, but that was not for them right now.\" They didn't read those. Then as I grew older, I remember The Count of Monte Cristo and Anthony Adverse and Les Misérables. I read those books, not from school but just on my own. Once I gave a book report on Les Misérables and she wondered, “Had I read this book?” I was in junior high, seventh grade.

The difference was when they went home, they could not speak English. They could only speak Greek. Consequently, they had an accent that never went away. Their accent was a little bit that you could tell. Because we spoke English at home, along with our Spanish. But we had a lot in common. One time, I'm going to tell you. I told them about this: some Greek boys, they were sort of toughies, and they decided they were going to pick on us, or maybe it was a long hot summer. Anyway, we had a sort of a war with them. I remember going out there and we were all in it, and me too, and we were all fighting. This little girl… She was older than me. This was Lena Hazen. She had blond curly hair and she was skinny as she could be, darling girl. She came out and fussed at all of us and made us all go home, so she stopped the fight…[memoirist laughs]…and I was glad. We had another fight on Central Avenue and Pryor Street. This was among ourselves, all of our Sephardic friends. I don't know why. Maybe another long hot summer with nothing to do. But we had guns made out of two pieces of wood nailed together and a clothespin attached to the handle, and we put a thick rubber band around it. All we had to do was press that lever on the clothespin and it would fly off. It was pretty dangerous. When we declared war, we were all going to fight.

The Tequesta people inhabited the area around Miami for 2,000 years before Europeans arrived. In 1566, Florida was claimed for Spain and a mission was built a year later. Spain and Britain occupied Florida before it was given to the United States in 1821. Miami was the only major city in the United States founded by a woman. Julia Tuttle originally owned the land that the city would be built upon. African American and Bahaman immigrants helped build Miami’s early infrastructure and were a vital part of its community in the early 20th century. Jim Crow laws were embedded into daily life in Miami during this period. Miami’s population exploded when more northerners moved to the region during the Florida land boom. Development stalled after the boom and during the Great Depression. Yet, during World War II, Miami became a base for United States defenses against German U-boats and the population boomed. The city was named “The Magic City” for its growth and urbanization. After the Cuban Revolution, many Cubans fled to Miami. In the late 20th century, Miami dealt with an increase in crime, drug trafficking, and the destruction that Hurricane Andrew caused. As of 2020, over 440,000 residents live in the city proper, and 6 million people live in the Miami metro area. \u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/149821/file/274960#t=1052.0,1079.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/149821/file/274960/annotation_set/1918/annotation/306","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003ePeachtree Street is a major road in Atlanta.

It was founded at the end of the eighteenth century in 1880 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Active in over 100 countries, today, ORT is the world’s largest Jewish education and vocational training NGO (Non-Governmental Organization). After World War II, ORT was very active in the DP camps, opening schools with rehabilitation programs in 78 camps. The purpose of the schools was to train and prepare DPs (displaced persons) for resettlement in industrialized countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia as well as Israel, which had a significant need for highly trained manpower. Some 85,000 Jews were trained in new profession and provided with the tools they needed to rebuild their lives. In 2003 Israel was the area of ORT's largest operation, with 90,000 students educated or trained at ORT’s 159 schools, colleges and institutions, educating 25 percent of Israel’s hi-tech workforce. In 2006 ORT Israel withdrew from World ORT. World ORT continues to work in Israel under the name of Kadima Mada (Educating for Life). In December 1946, the first ORT trade school in Austria was opened in Vienna. By the end of 1947, additional schools were open in Ebelsberg, Steyr, Wels, Salzburg, Hofgastein, Hallein, Linz, and Bindermilch. The schools conducted programs in 50 trades ranging from dressmaking to technical chemistry, optics and building trades. English and Hebrew language courses were also held. ORT’s Central School in Salzburg was the first post-war vocational training establishment in Austria. It opened in February 1947 and had 350 students by mid-1947. An annex to the main ORT school in Salzburg opened in 1948 in the Beth Bialik transit camp in Salzburg and another school was located in the Riedenburg camp. As emigration progressed, ORT schools in Austria began closing down. The Salzburg school was transferred to Hallein, a DP camp twenty miles from Salzburg, in 1947. It remained open until 1954.
