Life is Not a Fairy Tale

Dr. Zsuzsa Berend, a sociology professor at UCLA and author of “The Online World of Surrogacy”, talks about her Hungarian mother Rosa, who at 14 was the only Holocaust survivor in her family. Zsuzsa shares Rosa’s touching story of abandonment, survival and depression, and talks about lessons she learned from her: the consequences of not dealing with trauma, the danger of believing in fairy tales, and the effects of over-protective parenting. Zsuzsa also shortly talks about surrogacy and motherhood.  For more about "Thank You, Mama" please visit: http://www.tajder.com/ To contact Ana, please send a mail to: [email protected]
