Immigrants at the Crossroads-Ogden City Oral Histories |
| Description |
Immigrants at the Crossroads - Ogden City is a project to collect oral histories, photographs and artifacts related to the immigrant populations that helped shape the cultural and economic climate of Ogden. This project will expand the contributions made by Ogden's immigrant populations: the Dutch, Italian and Greek immigrants who came to work on the railroad and the Japanese who arrived after World War II from the West Coast and from internment camps. |
| Abstract |
This is an oral history interview with Nick and Diane Velis, conducted by Lorrie Rands and Brian Whitney on November 20 and December 16, 2014. Nick Velis' Greek family settled in the western United States in the late 1940s. He describes the family's several businesses, and what it was like growing up in the Greek community. His wife, Diane, shares her experience finding acceptance in the Velis family. |
