Nesia Orlovitch Reznik was my mom. She died 26 years ago. Tomorrow is her Memorial Day, and as I was googling her, I found your podcast “The Cross”. Very emotional story for both of us.
I would love to talk to you.
Thank you!
Gila Reznik Klein
Thank you Gila.
It was indeed emotional. Not all my grandma’s stories reached the podcast, most of them remained on paper. The tragic majority, however, was never spoken of.
I will reach out to you by email.
