                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. DEUTCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Pola Berlin Dickstein, 
Dora Berlin Podziba, and Luba Berlin Marcus, three sisters who are 
celebrating their 85th birthdays on October 8th. I would like to take 
this opportunity to extend to them an extraordinary happy birthday and 
congratulations on this very special milestone.
  Born in Cuba to a Jewish Soviet refugee mother, their family was 
forced to leave as anti-Jewish sentiment spread. They arrived at Ellis 
Island on September 21, 1940 and settled in New York City. All three 
sisters eventually married veterans, and Pola settled in Boca Raton, 
where they are celebrating this special occasion.
  With their unique background and heritage, these sisters have never 
forgotten their roots. I wish all three of them a joyous and healthy 
year ahead surrounded by their loved ones. On behalf of my entire 
district and the United States Congress, mazel tov and happy birthday.

                          ____________________
