Many tech company execs who visit to pitch products take time to peruse the shelves and exclaim upon various devices they owned in younger days.

Who co-founded Google? Sergey Brin, a Russian-born Jew whose family fled anti-semitism in the Soviet Union to settle here and who considers himself a refugee.
