A family portrait

My ancestors are the subject of this story. I tell it, using as a conductive line their migratory processes from Eastern Europe, the land where they all were coming. As a context for the story I incorporate the 20th century and its main events, especially the two world wars that were very influential in their own lives. Also, as the story demanded it, the modernization process as a previous stage to globalization, with their influence over the urban and cosmopolitan ways of life, was taken into account. I believe that the interaction of all these processes, can explain most of the decisions and actions tacken by my ancestors at several stages of their lives and also made them prone to assimilation.
