When we see you again

On October 7th, 2023, Rachel Goldberg-Polin's beloved 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. Over the next 11 months, she and her husband, Jon, would work tirelessly - in public and behind the scenes - to secure the hostages' release, to breathe some humanity into the situation while they were experiencing relentless emotional and psychological torment. The power of her raw and fervent pleas soon made her the face of the hostage crisis. And when Hersh and five other captives were executed after surviving 328 days of violence and cruelty, she would also become the face of its ultimate cost. 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.
