An interview with author Alice Kessler-Harris is presented. Kessler-Harris said that the family connection, in some ways perversely, made me want to learn more about Jewish history, and that's because the specifically Jewish experience was not part of my growing up. My parents, as I've often said, were refugees. They were smuggled out of Prague through Poland by the Communist Party and its networks. They left in April of 1939, after the Germans had entered Prague, and they were able to leave because my mother's family was heavily involved with the Czech Communist Party. This is one of the stories I tell. I did. I wanted to learn about being Jewish. There was one big synagogue in Cardiff, the Cathedral Street Synagogue. One day after school I went to the synagogue just to see it, and somebody said to me, "What do you want little girl?" I said I wanted to learn about being Jewish, and so this person took me to the person who I learned was the melamed, the teacher.
