Albany, NY – The Holocaust is a tragedy that has marked the lives of millions of people...and the generations that have come after them. It's also the glue that holds many people together, a common scar that no one else can understand. And every three years, some of those survivors gather in upstate New York with the children and grandchildren to talk about what it means.
We'll let them talk for themselves...we begin with Ruth Oppenheim.

Sometimes we begin to understand our families only after we find some common ground with them. For Helen Tse, that common ground is food. A lawyer in the UK by profession, Tse opened a Chinese restaurant with her two sisters. Sweet Mandarin, as they called it, not only is a business...it is what helped Helen understand her grandmother, Lily Kwok. Lily's remarkable life has led to a book named after the restaurant.
