Our guest today is Terry Mandel, and she is being interviewed by MoniqueHansen. The two met during the planning of the UnERASURE Tour 2026, aseries of events in November intended to uncover hidden Jewish lifeat different locations throughout Cologne.
Terry tells us about her family’s erased history. She is from California/USA and daughter of Jewish refugees from Germany. Her family’s history was barely mentioned during her childhood. For a long time, Terry assumed that all her ancestors had survived the Holocaust. Years after her parents’ death, she discovered that there was much more hidden behind the family history she knew. Since then, Terry has been deeply engaged with the history of her Jewish family and the search for the stories of her ancestors. Today, she regularly visits Germany to unerase her family’s history and actively contribute to a culture of remembrance.
