This is a video I made for Grandma's 100th birthday,
chronicling the first 100 years of her life. Back in 1983 she sat down with a tape recorder and recorded her life's story, as well as a lot of first-hand memories of life in the early 20th Century; I tried to bring it all to life with photos, videos, and music. It's about 25 minutes long but opened to rave reviews! Given YouTube restrictions, it is divided into 3 parts...
CHAPTERS 1 & 2: Anne tells how her parents came to America to start their family, recalling first-hand what life was like in New York in the early 20th Century:
CHAPTERS 3 & 4: Anne falls in love with Jacob Hirsch and starts a family. After his premature death, she spends her time traveling the world:
CHAPTERS 5 & 6 + BONUS FOOTAGE: Anne talks about her love of art and music. A final montage shows all of the life that she lived and made possible through her 3 children, 8 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. Plus after the credits, grandma gives some advice on budget travel!:
