EPISODE 654 - Linda Ambrus Broenniman - The astonishing story of eight generations of her Jewish ancestors

Linda grew up in Buffalo, New York. She is the middle child of seven born to Hungarian physicians who survived World War II and started their new life in the U.S. in 1949.

Linda graduated from Swarthmore College with a BA in psychology and went on to get an MBA from Carnegie Mellon. Several years after graduation, she left mainstream corporate America to follow her path as an entrepreneur. She let her passion for uncovering hidden potential in unexpected places guide her.

And she allowed this passion to fuel the search for her hidden family.

A Wilbur Award recipient, Linda is a GenerationsForward speaker for the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center.

Linda lives in Great Falls, Virginia with her husband, Ed, of 30 years and their dog, Juno.

By telling their stories, Linda could honor the memories of her lost family. And she learns how finding your roots helps anchor your own place in the world.
