In this recording, Center for Jewish History librarian J.D.
\nArden talks with genealogy researcher Jessica Dubin about how she used the
\nCenter\u2019s genealogy resources to look into a family mystery and discover Jewish
\nheritage and new relatives. <\/p>\n

Dubin\u2019s grandfather ran away from his family and never spoke
\nabout his past. \u201cBecause of the mystery, it was always like, oh, yeah, maybe we
\nhave some really cool past,\u201d said Dubin, \u201cAnd to find out that you kind of do,
\nis really\u2014I never thought that that would be the way it is.\u201d What\u2019s more\u2014Dubin
\ntook Russian and Jewish studies classes and went to Russia as an exchange
\nstudent out of interest. After doing research on her family history, she
\nrealized that these interests actually align with her family\u2019s history. \u201cI was
\ntapping into my heritage and culture without even knowing it was my heritage
\nand culture. That doesn\u2019t happen every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
