I am Jewish, my name is Perelman and I went through many difficult times for so many years, Perelman said after the ceremony.
Perelman was born in Romania and survived the Holocaust, including four years in a concentration camp. After World War II she was not able to enter the United States due to restrictions on the number of refugees, and instead moved to Panama then Peru and later Venezuela. She came to the United States in 1993 to be closer to her daughter after the death of her husband.
Perelman was joined by four generations of her family at the swearing in: her two daughters and their husbands, her granddaughter and her husband, and her six-month old great-granddaughter.
Asked by the CBS local affiliate whom she would be voting for, Perelman replied that she preferred the Democratic nominee. You know, its a personal secret, but I will tell you. Hillary. Hillary Clinton.
