Welcome back to HeadRoom, a sanctuary for the curious mind and a canvas for thought-provoking stories, with your host, Dr. Rod Berger. Today's episode bridges the past with the present as we delve into the compelling narrative crafted by Linda Ambrus Broenniman in her book "The Politzer Saga." In this conversation, Linda peels back the layers of a family secret Jewish ancestry hidden by immigrant parents in Buffalo, New York, a secret unveiled by the embers of a house fire. We're set to explore themes of identity, lineage's importance, and history's enduring echoes.
As we piece together the puzzle of Linda's ancestry, we reflect on the transformative power of truth, the role of individual stories within the grand tapestry of history, and the author's deep-rooted sense of responsibility to honor her past. This episode is not just about the Pulitzer family but about the universal quest for self-understanding and the cultivation of empathy towards others in the face of modern-day adversities.
Join us in this intimate discussion, only here on HeadRoom, co-produced by Rainlight and Old Soul, where we transcend the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary tales of human experience.
