Inside the Unconventional Journey Behind Bonny Reichert’s How to Share An Egg: A Candid Interview
This was very surprising, because my dad came from a town near Lodz and not Warsaw, and most of his family was murdered in the Holocaust. So to hear that there was a family tomb, it was kind of vague whose tomb it was, but there’s a family tomb of an important ancestor, and all of a sudden my dad says, “We’re going to Poland. I changed my mind, we’re going.” And one of my sisters said, “Yeah, I’ll go.” And the other two couldn’t go, and my dad said to me, “I want you to come.”
And as I write in the book, I did not want to go, but my dad said, “I want you to come.” And I wrote, he’s just not someone you say no to. There might be things that I wouldn’t do for him, but I don’t know what they are. So, very begrudgingly, I went and we found the tomb. The tomb was actually his grandfather’s tomb, his own grandfather, and that’s why it was his namesake. That’s why it was his name on the tomb.
