Daniel Bergmann
***
My name is Daniel Bergman and I am 33 years old. I am like a mixture of nationalities and different cultures in one person. My Jewish roots, like my last name, say more about themselves than anything else.
On my mother's side, almost everyone was pure-blooded Jewish, while on my father's side there were more than 5 different nationalities. My father was Greek by nationality, his mother was Russian with a mix of Moldovan and Ukrainian blood. And my grandfather was a mix of Greek roots with an Italian streak.
My mother really wanted me to keep her last name, so instead of a beautiful Greek last name, my last name in my passport is Bergmann. My maternal ancestors survived World War II. They were slaughtered in western Ukraine, exiled from Russia, and driven from where
