Bind These Words was founded by Stacy Kaeser Derby. As a third-generation Holocaust survivor, Stacy has spent much time listening to family members recollect first-hand accounts of their upheaval and survival in Europe. Around the time of her wedding, she recognized the importance of capturing her own grandparents’ story for her husband and someday for their children. Stacy interviewed her own mother about her deceased grandmother, digging through old memories and old photos together. The book creation process was profoundly rewarding, inspiring Stacy to shift her corporate writing career toward helping others preserve their personal histories.
