In this episode, Nicole and Diana chat with guest Linda Broenniman. Linda, who grew up in Buffalo, New York, is the middle child of seven born to Hungarian physicians who survived World War II. She holds a BA in psychology from Swarthmore College and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon. Linda is also a Wilbur Award recipient and a GenerationsForward speaker for the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center.

Linda shares her remarkable journey of uncovering hidden family secrets that date back eight generations, including her father's Jewish identity, which was kept secret due to the trauma of World War II and the antisemitism of the time. She discusses the courage of her parents in creating a new life in the U.S. and the incredible story of her mother saving numerous people during the Holocaust, leading to her recognition as Righteous Among the Nations by the Israeli government. Linda also talks about the challenges of uncovering these secrets, the impact of keeping such secrets, and the profound importance of learning about one's ancestry. Listeners will learn about Linda's genealogical discoveries, the complexities of family history, and the healing power of understanding one's roots.
