That is the birthplace...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LXy7Jem68qZBGsT-ncYREEbUWRlBetIsvhnIqohh-3E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xZTY1/MGQ3ZWMyZTQ4OTVi/YjRjMTFiNDY5MWY1/MDNmZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
