Ukraine is the Past, Israel is My Country and My Family's

Liza Milkman's project for My Family Story 2024. ANU- Museum of the Jewish People

Liza Milkman

Hello, I'm Liza, a student at Yoana Zabutinsky School. I'm 13 years old and I want to share my family's story of moving from Ukraine to Israel at the end of 2000. My parents, grandparents, and great-grandmother decided to move to Israel due to the difficult economic situation in Ukraine. It was a tough change, but ultimately, they didn't regret their decision. My project represents this journey using an hourglass. It shows how half of my family's life was spent in Ukraine, but now Israel is our home, where we've been living for over 20 years.
