Oral History and Testimony with Rachael Cerrotti (Online)

Thursday, September 226:30—8:00 PMOnlineMain Library82 Main Street, Peabody, MA, 01960

The Peabody Institute Library welcomes back author and documentary storyteller Rachael Cerrotti for an interactive, online workshop on how to research your own family history using recorded testimony and oral histories. 

Rachael will speak about her work with USC Shoah Foundation and other institutions, and give us suggestions for how we may use those resources in retelling our own family stories. At the beginning of the year, patrons read Rachael's memoir "We Share the Same Sky: A Memoir of Memory and Migration," and had the opportunity to discuss it with the author and attend lectures about the book. This fall, we invite community members to create their own family histories and tell their own stories, with instruction and inspiration from the author, including stories from her new podcast, "The Memory Generation."

Sign up here and the Zoom link will be in your confirmation email.
