Rachel Goldberg-Polin has published a memoir titled "When We See You Again" about her son Hersh, an American who was taken hostage in Gaza in 2023 and killed by his captors in 2024.

The book documents a mother's grief over the loss of her only son, exploring what Goldberg-Polin describes as the emotional journey following his capture and death. Hersh was among the hostages taken during the October 7 attack.

In a recent interview, Goldberg-Polin recounted the intense emotional moments surrounding her son's death, describing her reaction upon learning of his fate. She recalled screaming her son's name, noting that a cameraman present at the scene became emotional witnessing her response.

The memoir serves as both a personal account of loss and a documentation of the family's experience during the hostage crisis. Goldberg-Polin's book adds to the growing body of personal accounts from families affected by the October 7 events and their aftermath.

The publication comes as families of hostages continue to advocate for the return of those still held captive and seek to keep public attention focused on their loved ones' situations.
