    En mi libro, 'Flor en el Río', profundizo en la rica y dolorosa historia de mis antepasados inmigrantes del este de Europa en el South Lawndale de Chicago, ahora cariñosamente conocido como 'La Pequeña Aldea'. Es reconfortante ver que este barrio sigue siendo un santuario vibrante para los inmigrantes y sus descendientes, continuando el legado de diversidad y resiliencia. A través del podcast, y especialmente en este episodio en español, me siento honrado de conectar con los residentes actuales de La Pequeña Aldea y compartir no solo el viaje de mi familia, sino también las historias de aquellos afectados por el Desastre del Eastland de 1915. Un gran saludo a todos en La Pequeña Aldea - ¡sus historias y espíritu son una inspiración! www.flowerintheriver.com.
