What happens when you embark on an epic quest to unravel family secrets? Jane Messer and Cynthia Banham did so when they began to research and write about their misunderstood grandmothers, great grandmothers and beyond. Join Irma Gold as she asks these wonderful writers and researchers about maternal inheritance across time and they all delve into the worlds of old Bologna and pre-second world war Berlin and Mandate Palestine.
In partnership with Family History ACT.
