Tagged: children, Cuba, Cuban, parents, Theater“Eduardo Machado arrived in the United States from his native Cuba in 1961, at age 8. He and his younger brother were part of “Operation Pedro Pan,” which airlifted to the U.S. 14,000 Cuban children whose parents feared their communist indoctrination in Fidel Castro’s revolution.
“The Voice of America, essentially an arm of the CIA, was saying Castro was going to send kids of well-to-do families to Russia to retrain us, so we had to be airlifted out,” he says. “It wasn’t true, just an effort to disrupt Cuba.”"
