“Chicken Soup with Tears” – a Family History journey

Alan Waters will explore how family historians can move from documents, names and fragments of evidence towards a much fuller understanding of the people behind them and how his research led to the publication of “Chicken Soup with Tears”.  His research has taken him to many places including Ypres, Berlin, Łódź and Chełmno, where his own family history unexpectedly converged with the history of the Holocaust.
