Gertrude Berg is a unique figure in Catskills history, perhaps the only woman to help manage a Catskills family resort and then steer that experience into a national multimedia entertainment career. This talk with Dr. Samantha Goldstein will explore how her adolescence in hospitality led to one of the most popular early television series, The Goldbergs, and why her legacy is so infrequently mentioned today.
