Leo+from+Poland

Leo Zusman (used to be Zysman) came from Poland when he was 35. Leo could not go home because his home and family had been destroyed in the war so they put him in a concentration camp. Then American soldiers came and rescued him because he could make shoes. He had many challenges including his family being killed and him not speaking English. You don’t know how hard it was for him. Also Ellis Island changed his last name from Zysman to Zusman. Leo contributed his knowledge of making shoes (which saved his life) and that got him a job in the U.S. Leo Zusman was my grandfather and if it where not for him I would not be here. by Lyla
