On October 7, 2023, Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin’s son, Hersh, was taken hostage by Hamas. After 330 agonizing days of waiting, they received the devastating news of his murder. In the months that followed, Rachel became a powerful public voice amid one of the most painful experiences a parent can endure.
When We See You Again is not simply a record of those events or the activism that followed. It is a deeply human reflection on grief, memory, and love. With remarkable vulnerability, Rachel writes about learning to live within loss—about holding on to what was, honoring what remains, and searching for even the faintest glimmer of light in the darkness. Strength, she reminds us, is not only the act of continuing on—it is also the courage to grieve, to break, and to face the truth that life has forever changed.
