Very thoughtful and enlightening responses. Sari, thank you for doing these interviews. Some people may think, as I did at first, that asking the same questions every time would be kind of a straitjacket, but I eventually came to see the brilliance of it. The questions, with the many different people you have interviewed, take off in hundreds of directions, almost always profitable ones for the reader.
I feel the Jewish passions ♥️. My grandparents were also Holocaust survivors. Would also love for this series to delve into money and aging more. Like how did she afford four degrees and life as a single woman now. Is it ancestor money? Alimony? A different job she didn’t discuss? Credit card debt? I’m really curious how people manage to survive financially in this crazy world.
These answers packed a PUNCH Tamara. I loved reading this. I also turned 50 this year. I'm fascinated by your varied experiences and how you're navigating this new stage.
What an amazing life Dr. Tamara has lived and continues to live. I feel inspired by her.
Tamara, may I encourage you to contact the US Holocaust Memorial Museum? They will preserve your beloved bubbe's story and photos, sharing them (or not) with the public. Your written record of your bubbe's life story, transcribed right before she died, would also be hugely important to the museum. And, it's a way of sharing your writing that would benefit us all.

Love this one. Even the skincare resistance!
Congratulations— time is by far our richest commodity as writers on a path less traveled—look no further than Ursula K.Le Guin
