Warsaw women surviving as immigrants with Geri Spieler

Dr. Jeanette Gallagher welcomes Geri Spieler, author of Regina of Warsaw: Love, Loss and Liberation, to share her grandmother's story in the early 1900's.

Can we look back at our ancestors stories with the eyes of the time period in which they experienced hardships beyond what we could imagine? Perhaps we are looking backwards with the eyes of today and judging, casting blame or shame, or carrying forth their pain into the present?

Why are we all looking back at our lineage story at this time? Are we here to honor the past people who, without them and their great struggles, we would not be here? Are we ready to see how the fragments of the lineage play out in future generations through trades, jobs, triggering phrases, and physical locations to live?

This decade of reflection has brought to our attention, the time to respect, honor, forgive, and heal the past if we so choose to look into the hardships with an open heart.

Geri shares her grandmother's story and reflects on how aspects of her life are still embedded in family members to this day.
