Yesterday, Today and Forever

Chiara Leah Schaffer's project for My Family Story 2023. ANU- Museum of the Jewish People

Chiara Leah Schaffer

My great-grandparents were my heroes because they never gave up, they were an example to follow. I feel the obligation to keep their memory alive to the following generations. Over the years, some of my grandparents and great grandparents have passed away, but thanks to this shorashim project they left their legacy through videos and interviews. Helping revive their experiences is a great privilege. I am the 6th and last of my siblings to wrote a shorashim project. When Cami, my eldest sister, did her project, my mother was pregnant with me. Now she is expecting her first child, my first nephew, and in the future he will write his own.
