Eastern Europe (1982 - Present) Andy KovacsMore than 10,000 refugees from Eastern Europe have resettled in California. "I was 18 years old...When I left it was a still a communist ruling government... not for religions. My parents were persecuted for their faith and their parents were even killed for their faith...(I) worked nighttime as a janitor and daytime as a carpet cleaner. I think I have a entrepreneur mind. ThatÕs what America is all about, to create something." - Andy Kovacs, refugee from Hungary |
