Interview Ideas

I have decided to Interview three sisters who immigrated at different times from El Salvador into the United States during the El Salvadorian Civil War.

1. What do I want to know about the History of the event, era, situation or injustice? Well honestly I know nothing about this war. So I want to know and have an understanding of the time period and what was happening to the country at the time regarding immigration/fleeing the country. Necessities. I also want to know the back round on the war and what lead up to it, what happened etc.
2. What can I find out before meeting for the interview? The time period of the war, and a brief back round to help me understand the stories that will be told. I also want to learn about the huge gap between the rich and poor in El Salvador at the time.
3. What resources will you consult before meeting with the person? I plan to use the internet and the library.
4. What can you find out by only experiencing the person's face to face presence? You can experience the hardships and pain the person went through and see how hard it was for them to deal with what they went through. How hard it is to still deal with it. The impact it has had on them as an individual.
5. Where,When and with whom will your interview be conducted? My interview will take place at my friend Vickie's parents house in Oakland as I am interviewing her mother and two sisters. Their names are; Maria Vilma Merino, Maria Victoria Casillas and Evelia Lopez. The three sister immigrated all at different times, one right when the war was beginning another right in the middle of the war and the other right at the end. It was interesting to hear the contrast and the different reasons for leaving.
6. I recorded this interview with my Phone. 
7. What special challenges do I foresee? One big challenge will be the language barrier, my friend Vickie will translate a lot of it for me. There is also going to be an accent barrier.Also not knowing a lot on the history of the war and the time it took place.

Some Questions I am going to ask:

How old were you?
What were your reasons for fleeing your country?
What was the hardest part to deal with?
How long was each part of your journey?
Did you get caught or were you close to ever being caught when you crossed the boarder?
What was the scariest thing you had to deal with?
How did your family take you leaving?
