I came across your web site while searching the web and hope you can help me with my personal research.
The following are pieces of information I could collect from my parents, when they still were alive and my elder sister, who was only 5 years old, when the incident happened.

It is important to mention that my father was Captain in the red army (USSR) during world war 2 and deserted and flew to Israel in 1948.

My Parents and elder sister immigrated to the USA in Nov 1955, to join my Father’s family who lived in Bridgeport CT. When they arrived at the N.Y airport my father was arrested by either the FBI or the immigration authorities (not clear) and was separated from my mother (she was pregnant with me) and sister, who were taken to an isolated hostel and were not allowed to see my father for a couple of weeks. I don’t know exactly for how long my father was interrogated and by who but it obviously had something to do with his red army history. My father’s family hired an attorney but despite this my family was deported back to Germany 2-3 months later.

As you can imagine this traumatic incident was like a black cloud over my family for a long time. I finally decided to start a research in order to find every possible piece of information that can help me and my sister to understand what really happened and to reveal the reasons behind my family’s deportation.

The only document that I could find on the internet is the original passenger list of their flight from Germany to NY on the 8th of November 1955.

I would highly appreciate if you could assist and guide me where and how to continue searching from here.
