season 2 - episode 5

In episode five* of season two, Sarah Mostov and Jenny Yurshansky discuss their shared experiences of being children of Jewish refugees and how that shapes their thoughts on Israeli and American treatment of Muslims from the Arab world. Jenny's parents are from what is now called Moldova in the former Soviet Union and Sarah's mother was born to Iraqi parents in a refugee camp in Jerusalem. We Are All Americans is a podcast series Inspired by the fact that my Russian great-grandfather gained his US citizenship after serving in the US Army and my Lithuanian (or Austrian, or Russian, or Latvian - depending on who is telling the story) great-grandmother entered the US on fake passport. Each episode is a different recorded conversations about how family stories are passed down from generation to generation and what it means to be American in the contexts of multiculturalism, immigration, military service, black lives matter, white privilege, and indigeneity. * Recorded during the Reciprocity Los Angeles Retreat on April 9, 2019 in Simi Valley, CA
