A family secret that stayed hidden for 80 years. Why?
What would you do if your family erased an entire person from your history just to protect their own “status”?
Clare Kinberg’s family didn’t just have a disagreement—they drew a “red line” and spent eight decades pretending her Aunt Rose never existed. The “crime”? Falling in love across the color line. Kinberg’s father and his siblings were afraid of antisemitism and not being accepted as “white” if it became known that someone in the family was married to a Black man.
Join Playing Together Project for a raw, essential conversation with author Clare Kinberg as we dissect her new memoir, By the Waters of Paradise: An American Story of Racism and Rupture in a Jewish Family. We’re not just talking about history; we’re talking about the racism that lives in our own lineages and how we break the silence today.
This isn’t a comfortable book. It’s a reckoning.
