This interview was meaningful to me after finding out several years ago that I am Jewish. I have felt robbed of my heritage after learning the truth so late in my life. I'm sure part of the reason Mom never told me was because of WWII with all of the anti-semitism during that time. She tended to live in a lot of fear, so I'm trying to understand the psyche behind that.
I am thankful to have learned about my roots, and have been doing research and studying Judaism for the last couple of years. There is an awakening in my soul with the study.
Thank you so much for your recordings!
