IG Live | Legacy, Community Building and Mindset : Lessons from Carolyn Siegel, Florence Ann Romano, and KAYR

Carolyn Siegel is the Founder and Executive Director of If You Heard What I Heard, the first U.S. nonprofit dedicated to preserving the filmed stories of grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. As the granddaughter of two survivors, she created the organization to capture the voices of the last generation able to hear these stories firsthand. Through filmed interviews with cultural leaders, artists, and public figures, Carolyn explores how inherited stories shape identity, values, and purpose. Drawing on her background as a marketing consultant for brands like Google and The New York Times, she has transformed personal family history into a national storytelling platform that combats forgetting and rising antisemitism through powerful, lived narratives.

Her book, Build Your Village: A Guide to Finding Joy and Community in Every Stage of Life, offers practical guidance for cultivating belonging and navigating life’s transitions through strong relationships.

Her work has been featured in major media outlets including Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, and she regularly appears as an expert contributor on television across the United States.
