Join us during Jewish Heritage Month as Caroline Topperman takes us on a personal journey to uncover her family's history.

She will talk about how living in Poland for four years prompted her to research her unique family story: her Jewish grandparents who survived the Holocaust by fleeing to Uzbekistan, and her non-Jewish grandparents who survived the war in Afghanistan.

Through their stories and the gaps in their collective memory, Caroline explores the complexities of identity and assimilation even outside a traditional community. Ultimately, this is a conversation about the search for meaning and connection, and how our past shapes who we are today.
