Today marks the first yahrzeit of my grandmother, Suri Lichtschein z"l, aka Babi Yaya.

In this special episode, my brother Elie and I look back on Babi's extraordinary 99 years of life — from surviving Auschwitz and rebuilding her life after the Holocaust to becoming the beloved matriarch of our family.

We share childhood memories, funny stories, and reflections on her remarkable sense of humor, unwavering emunah, and the legacy she left behind.

Originally recorded last year for our podcast An Excuse to Talk to My Brother, I'm republishing this conversation here on Depends on the Context in honor of her first yahrzeit.

May her neshamah have an aliyah.
