I marched in honor of my great-grandmother, Pauline Kahn. I felt so much pride in supporting the immigrants. Many people after reading my sign took my picture, put their arms around me, shook my hand, and gave me high fives, thanking me for my solidarity and support of them. I wanted to raise the point that not all illegal immigrants are Latinos. There are a lot of racist ideologies in the immigration debate now. I am also trying to honor the fact that if Bubbie had not come here, more of our family could've perished in the Holocaust.
