Unearthing Family Secrets: Author Talk with Judy Bolton-Fasman

Hosted By: Jewish Museum of Maryland

How much do we really know about the lives of our parents and the secrets lodged in their past? Judy Bolton-Fasman’s new memoir, Asylum: A Memoir of Family Secrets, recounts the search for answers to the mysteries embedded in the lives of her Cuban-born mother, Matilde Alboukrek Bolton and her elusive, Yale-educated father, K. Harold Bolton. Join Judy as she discusses the book and her quest to understand her family’s identity.
