Why writer Marsha Lederman, daughter of Holocaust survivors, feels 'less alone' on Yom HaShoah

JL;DR SUMMARY Marsha Lederman, a journalist and daughter of Holocaust survivors, discusses the significance of Yom HaShoah and shares insights from her book, "Kiss the Red Stairs," which explores intergenerational trauma. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
