Voice of former President Harry S. Truman: There’s something ancient in their eyes, in their hearts, even in the way they walk. You cannot stop the flow of history. The Jews were determined to make a Jewish nation in Palestine. They had nowhere else to go.
Voice: Tell us about your grandmother.
Truman: My grandmother told me about that being pushed out of house and home was the worst thing that could happen to a human being. My grandmother Young was a tough, unreconstructed southerner, but a displaced person just the same.
