After living in Sweden for two years, Herb Gildin and his sisters journeyed across Russia and the Pacific to be reunited with their parents as refugees in America. Focused on building his lighting business rather than dwelling on the past, decades went by before Herb told his wife and children about his childhood, resulting in one last journey back to Sweden to attempt to reunite with the remaining family members who had taken him in 60 years earlier.
Many lives and families have been affected, and are still affected today, by the Holocaust. Perhaps you know of a story that reminds you of Herb’s? Before the film screening, museum curator Yael Fried will talk about the museum’s collection. About the objects, stories, and testimonies that the museum has received and is seeking. An insight into important work and an open invitation to the public to contribute to the storytelling about Sweden and the Holocaust.
The program ends with a conversation led by Eva Kopito with Herb's grandson and Director and Producer Tyler Gildin, Herb Gildins daughter Mindy Utay and Zakarias Jacobson, son of Agneta Silow who came to be Herb's "sister" during his time in Sweden.
