Intergenerational Resilience with Nechama Birnbaum

Intergenerational Resilience with Nechama Birnbaum

Author: Rivky Itzkowitz: Founder at Impact Fashion July 24, 2023 Duration: 44:04

I sit down with Nechama Birnabum, an author and fellow granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, to discuss her grandmother's story. She shares why she saw her grandmother Rosie as a perfect character, why she felt it was important to tell the good parts of Rosie's holocaust story, and the importance of centering a Jewish girl who saves herself.
