At Paula’s Table: Paula Goldhar’s Life Story Through Food

At Paula’s Table: Paula Goldhar’s Life Story Through Food explores the life of Holocaust survivor Paula Goldhar through her memories of food, from her childhood in prewar Poland to the devastating hunger she endured during the Holocaust and her experiences after liberation. The film reflects on the role of food in preserving memories, family traditions, and cultural identity, and how these traditions continue to thrive as they are passed on from one generation to the next.

At Paula’s Table was created for the Toronto Holocaust Museum and premiered on November 2, 2026, as part of the opening night program of Neuberger Holocaust Education Week 2026, Memories of a Good Meal, featuring chef and author Alon Shaya.
