“Terrific... I haven't talked to anyone who wasn't impressed, engrossed, fascinated ... the best I've heard in 5-plus years of helping to organize these things. [Ms. Cassedy] took a complex, delicate subject and crafted it in a way that was not only fair and balanced, but also heymish and thoroughly engaging. A major-league talk.”
--Andy Cassel, Kol Ami Congregation, Melrose, PA
“A splendid introduction to our community about how history stays with us.”
– Dr. Saulius Suziedelis, Director, 28th Annual Conference on the Holocaust, Millersville University
“Quite incredible presentation. What I especially loved is how well you combine what took place during the Holocaust with the years since through your experience.”
– Mary Johnson, Facing History and Ourselves
“...substantive, eloquently presented…”
– Charles Obrecht, Institute for Christian & Jewish Studies, Baltimore, MD
“Combining erudition, a love of Yiddishkeit and a journalist's eye for detail and nuance, Ellen Cassedy gave our congregation a a gripping tale – professional, engaging, very thought-provoking, and eminently worth hearing.”
--Rabbi Elias Lieberman,
Falmouth Jewish Congregation, E. Falmouth, MA
"Outstanding...beautifully highlighted with photographs and music. Now you've got me investigating where my grandparents came from."
-- Rebecca B. Holmes, Am HaYam, Orleans, MA
