Every family has a story. Over the past two episodes of the Sasha Photography podcast , my father, Igor, has taken us on my Grandfather’s journey. How he escaped the Nazis - and certain death - on his family’s bicycle. His bravery during the war. How he built his life, his home, and his career, out of the ruins of a shattered city. Now, the final part of this trilogy: my father’s immigrant experience. The struggle to leave the Soviet Union and to make it in America. Like many immigrants, he bet everything. Time and time again. And nearly lost it all.
