About Live On
Live On is a small, family-run business. In the course of our careers in family counseling, law, teaching, writing, and guiding, we’ve learned how to talk with people about their lives — and also how to listen.
Starting with our Holocaust-survivor parents, we’ve been conducting personal-history interviews for many years and in many contexts.
We’ve found the personal-history business to be a win-win-win proposition: The subject of the interview enjoys a meaningful “life review,” his or her family receives an invaluable keepsake for the ages, and we’re thrilled to facilitate the process as seamlessly as possible.
