My grandmother was born in Russia, about 1885, and came to the U.S. in about 1910. (I have the exact dates somewhere, thanks to the Ellis Island site.) When, at the age of about 80 she came to visit us in New York (from Florida), we took her to see Fiddler on the Roof. It had a profound effect on her. She kept shaking her head and saying, "A pogrom, a regular pogrom."
