L'dor V'dor - From Generation to Generation (with Howard Hochhauser) | Episode 8

Serena never spoke of her life before she married into the Hochhauser family. They knew she was from Eastern Europe and, based on her age and immigration timing, had survived the Holocaust. But how she did so remained a story untold - until nearly two decades after her death, when newly available records from the Red Cross International Tracing Service revealed an extraordinary journey of survival that would transform her family's understanding of their quiet, loving grandmother. Join me and my guest Howard Hochhauser, Ancestry's Chief Financial Officer since 2009, as we piece together Serena's remarkable story of resilience - from surviving Auschwitz to rebuilding her life in America. Discover how uncovering one grandmother's untold past created ripples of strength and connection across four generations, embodying the Jewish principle of l'dor v'dor - from generation to generation.〰️ 🌳 🧬 〰️  🎧 Ready to discover more stories that could transform your family connections?
