HOST JACKIE TANTILLO- The Everlasting Consequence of A Mother’s Grudge and A Son’s Remorse with Guest Author Samuel G. Freedman

As a teen, Sam neglected to really connect with his mother. Unfortunately, Eleanor  passed away at a very young. In time, as a journalist, Sam realized  he had the skills to research his mom's past and get to know her from the beginning. In "Who She Was, My Search For My Mother's Life," you'll find the story of a beautiful young woman who had so many hopes and dreams and life, WWII, the Holocaust and more just got in the way.

Eleanor had everything going for her. She was smart, beautiful, creative and she had many friends. She graduated high school at 16 as the valedictorian of her class.  The skies the limit for Eleanor. But life didn't really turn out the way she had hoped or planned.

Her parent's had immigrated from Poland and settled in the Bronx, NY. When the Great Depression, WWII and The Holocaust turned her family's life upside down, Eleanor had to put her dreams aside and get a job which where hard to come by.  Her father hadn't been very good at holding down steady work, so Eleanor was the most likely to fill those shoes as the main bread winner for the family. 

There's so much more to this story, so I  hope you enjoy  hearing it through Sam's words and his voice.
