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 (//enoughtofallthat.com)

Interview with Nathaniel Philbrick: The Mayflower
As the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims’ arrival in the New World approaches, Nathaniel Philbrick (https://www.nathanielphilbrick.com/) joins Galen on Truro AirWaves to talk about his book Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, War. (https://www.nathanielphilbrick.com/books/mayflower/) Mayflower delivers a thoroughly-researched story that tackles the myths of the Pilgrims and recognizes the complexities and realities of their arrival and its impact on their own lives and the lives of those who already lived here. The podcast covers the myths around the Pilgrims, some highlights from the book, and history as a window into a past that can—but doesn’t necessarily—illuminate the present. Thank you to Nathaniel for spending this time with us!
