Description: Scope/Content: An oral history was conducted with Mr. Thuy Trong Nguyen, born in 1951 in Hanoi, Vietnam. He and his family migrated to South Vietnam in 1954, and spent most of their lives there until the 1970s, when he and his family then migrated out of Vietnam at different times as the war came to an end. He spent a majority of his adulthood in France, where he worked several different jobs before attaining a PhD in law. The interview focused on his education experiences and work experiences in Vietnam, France, and the United States. In 2008, brother sponsored him and his family to the United States, and he currently resides in Buena Park, California with his loved ones.
