“I went back to a small town in Poland where my dad grew up. It was a very traumatic experience for me as a young man to know that my father's family were killed by Nazis, killed by Hitler. And that left, you know, if not intellectually, at least an emotional part of me which said, God, we have got to do everything we can to end this kind of horrific racism or anti-Semitism. And I have spent much of my life trying to fight that.” IfsKnowsMenTryingKindSaidEndsYoungFightingFatherLeftEmotionalGrewDadGrew UpRacismTownsMy DadYoung ManNaziSmall TownPolandAnti SemitismHorrificTraumatic Experiences Author:Bernie Sanders
“My dad died in May of '97. The effects of his death immediately were not all that hard, but a year or two later it hit, when my job as Dad was sort of done and I was sending my kids to college. And somehow, the emotional intensity of that event mixed with the loss of my own dad, was kind of upsetting.” YearsKindMayTwoHardDoneKidsJobsMy OwnLossEffectsEventsEmotionalCollegeDadDiedMy DadUpsetIntensityDad DiedMy Dad Died Author:Wayne Watson
“I don't really remember much before was eight, but I do remember that my dad brought me to drop me off at my grandmother's house, and he was a very emotional guy, but that was the first time I really saw him cry, cos I knew it killed him to have to give me up, but he knew I needed some family structure. That was the last time I'd see him or talk to him when he was sober for the next 10 years.” GivingYearsFirstsLastsRememberGuyNextHouseSawsCryEmotionalNeededDadFirst TimeGive MeStructureMy DadEightGrandmotherLast TimeSoberMy Grandmother Author:Diamond Dallas Page
