On the morning of October 7th, 2023, Rachel Goldberg-Polin’s beloved twenty-three-year-old son, Hersh, was stolen from a music festival billed as a celebration of unity and love—and, in that moment, her life was forever separated into The Before and The After.
After eleven months of both public and behind-the-scenes efforts to secure the hostages’ release, the final hostages returned home, many in body bags. Hersh and five other captives were executed after surviving 328 days of violence and cruelty.
In When We See You Again, Rachel pours her pain, love, and longing onto paper, giving voice to the broken among us, and reminding us that even when the world feels choked with darkness, light exists in a different way. It is a story of how we remember and how we persevere, of how we suffer and how we love.
