Description

On this episode, we bring you two stories of people who unexpectedly unearthed their personal histories with the help of LBI and its archive.    Danny Shot, a poet from the Bronx, stumbled across a familiar face at an LBI exhibit—and discovered the double life of a mysterious relative. And Elliot Aronstam, a Brooklyn native, found himself literally buried in letters in a script he couldn’t read. Luckily, LBI was able to decipher a family story he never thought he’d learn.    LBI Presents is a production of the Leo Baeck Institute, New York | Berlin and Antica Productions.    Hosted by Mark Oppenheimer. Executive Producers include Laura Regehr, Stuart Coxe, and Bernie Blum. Senior Producer is Debbie Pacheco. Associate Producer is Emily Morantz. Associate audio editor is Cameron McIver.
