Question

My family was lucky. We survived the pogrom

(organized massacre) in our village in Russia.
The Tsarist government acted in support of
these anti-Jewish attacks. We had a cousin in Chicago who sent us enough money to pay for our passage by steamship to America.

Based on this statement, why did her family
immigrate to the United States?

Answer 1

They decided to migrate to the United States because of the current situation in their home country. They feared for their lives because they were being targeted and attacked for their own religious values.

Step-by-step explanation:

America is the land of the free and you have the freedom of right to practice and kinda of religion unlike Russia and the Tsarist Government.

Answer 2

Because she was jewish and the Russian government was anti-jewish at the time.
