Part of our First Friday lecture series 

Presented by Alex Woodle 

NEHGS, 99-101 Newbury Street, Boston

 

When Alex Woodle began his journey to uncover his family history, he never imagined just how far it would take him. In this talk, Alex will share the story of how his search for his ancestry led him to the Czech Republic, where he would become involved in the restoration of a Jewish cemetery and the synagogue where his family worshipped.
