Description
Danielle Serota is a medical student. She shared a story about race and identity.
Excerpt:
"...I am a white-passing Ashkenazi Jew. In Slavic languages, Serota means “orphan.” Jewish children who were orphaned by violent pogroms in eastern Europe in the 19th century were given this name when there were no surviving family or community members to identify the child. Intrinsic to my name and my identity is the notion of otherhood."
