I have several questions about dreams that came to me as a child and caused me to become interested in studying the Holocaust as well as a definite belief that I was of Jewish ancestry.(Which later turned out to be a fact.) I am curious as to the following:

1. Who is "Hannah" in relation to me? Who sent her to tell me her messages?

2. Is the light brown haired woman my Great-Great Grandmother Lucille?

3. Did the assimilation from Jewish culture in our family trouble my ancestors so much that they came to me as a child that may have been able to turn the tide?

As a child, about 7 years old (in 1992.), I began to have dreams where a dark haired girl looked from a barbed wire fence and told me that I was Jewish. I said that I was Black and couldn't be Jewish.She said that I was of Jewish descent and that someone was hiding that fact from me. When I asked the girl her name and how old she was, she was seven and her name was Hannah . She was with her family, a mom who looks like my Grandmother and several others. The mom held her hand and a soldier dragged them away from the gate. As she was being dragged away she yelled back to me: "Remember Us. Do not forget us. Tell them the truth!".

The same dream came to me for years, until my 12th birthday. The period that Hannah had to sit at the gate to talk to me lasted longer and longer and she told me the following about her:

Her birthdate is 1 Adar 4 in the year 5694. That is February 7, 1935.
(My Hebrew birthdate is 1 Adar 4 in the year 5744 and my Christian Calendar birthdate is February 7, 1984.)

She was born in Krakow, Poland. (I was born in Long Beach, California.)

She had six siblings. (I have 4 siblings.)

She loved foreign languages and wanted to be a writer.
(I also have an aptitude for foreign languages.)


I adopted the Jewish religion at the age of 8. When I had made this decision, I had a dream the next night in which a light brown haired woman stood next to Hannah and looked at me smiling, saying "Thank you. May a blessing be upon your head."


Several years later (When I was 12.) My paternal grandmother told me: You are Jewish. My Father is (he died 4 months before I was born.) a Jew.

Can someone please help me understand all of this?

Thank you.

Please help me make sense of these events.
