Lire le texte, puis répondre en anglais.
In the 1840s, hundreds of thousands of Irish people left for Boston, New York or Liverpool as potato crops failed. They carried little but songs, stories and a strong sense of belonging. Many never saw their homeland again.
Today, descendants of these emigrants still celebrate their roots every March, and Irish genealogy is a thriving industry. Memorials in Dublin and Boston commemorate those who died during the crossing. For many families, remembering is a way of honouring ancestors and understanding who they are.
- Why did so many Irish people leave in the 1840s?
- What did they take with them?
- How do descendants keep the memory alive?
- Why is remembering important for many families?
