What is the connection between events happening thousands of miles apart? This summer I was privileged to present several talks at the IAJGS conference. Once of those talks, Personalizing History, is for me, always fun. In it I discuss how my own family’s immigration experience and historical events in New York created an amazing connection for me, over 100 years after the events. It seems to have touched the imagination of a reporter, Jane Edelstein, at Heritage, Florida Jewish News.  http://www.heritagefl.com/story/2017/09/01/features/making-a-personal-connection-with-past-generations/8498.html
