  4. Interview with Grace Freundlich about her book, "Enough of all That"

    04/24/2021

    Interview with Grace Freundlich about her book, "Enough of all That"

    Grace did not know. How long would it take to figure it out? How did the  child of Holocaust survivors become a survivor herself? It was a  mystery that took a lifetime to unravel. Until then, through the many  difficulties she experienced, the lodestar that helped her was that "It could  have been worse." The hand she was dealt was having been born in New York  to a damaged family of Jews who came out of late 1930s Germany. It took  her until she was in her eighties to understand her life, the ways she  sabotaged herself, and why. PTSD and transgenerational trauma, the  latter only being studied now, are the keys. Now she knows. Grace shares insights with us in this interview, along with excerpts from the book. You can find more at her website, enoughtofallthat.com
