A JEWISH FAMILY STORY



I sat down with my mom and dad - each in their own session -  and asked them to retell their family’s history. We started with pre-holocaust Eastern Europe, then moved to the Holocaust, and ended in Israel (or pre-Israel, as the case may be). Some parts of my family’s history were shocking, some were hilarious, and others were surprising in the most wonderful way.
