Kenneth met Gloria while they were students at Brandeis University. Through her, he came to know Abe and Sonia Huberman: parents, grandparents, and a couple whose shared life had been interrupted by the Holocaust.
Their story unfolded over years of family gatherings and conversations. Kenneth witnessed their generosity, their attachments, and the presence of memory in ordinary life. These were the people behind the extraordinary history.
A psychologist’s perspective
Kenneth studied psychology at Brandeis and earned his doctorate at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His professional life has included teaching and clinical and forensic psychology.
That background informs his attention to relationships, loss, and adaptation. In this book, it is joined by something equally important: decades of knowing Abe and Sonia as family.
From recollection to record
When audiences asked Gloria for a book about her parents, Kenneth began assembling the account. Family interviews, letters, written recollections, and archival discoveries helped him place personal memory within a broader historical record.
Separated Together preserves both the wartime story and the years that followed. It asks readers to see Abe and Sonia in the fullness of their lives.
