Cynthia outlines her family history, tracing the migrations and her grandparents’ move to Louisiana.  She describes the culture of New Orleans, the Jewish community there, and the synagogues she attended.  Cynthia talks about the weeks leading up to Hurricane Katrina, how she and her family prepared for the storms and evacuated before it hit New Orleans.  They stayed with Jewish friends in Baton Rouge for eight days, then drove to Atlanta to be with two of their adult children living there and stayed for five months.  Cynthia recalls finally returning to New Orleans to survey the extensive damage to their home and possessions.  The Farbers decided to move to Atlanta permanently and sold their house in New Orleans in May 2006 after being stripped.  After several months of looking, they finally found an apartment to rent in Atlanta.  Many of their items in storage were lost or stolen in the process of moving them to Atlanta.  Cynthia explains how the Jewish community of Atlanta was very open to them; the Jewish Family Service gave them money and some counseling.  They have made new friends in Atlanta and created social networks with former New Orleanians (some who had moved before Katrina) and people they knew from before.  Cynthia calls Atlanta home but has a strong connection to New Orleans and visits her daughter there often.  Cynthia discusses her involvement in various organizations and volunteer activities, including working to support H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College in its restructuring after the storm and being active in the local chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women.  At the time of the interview, Cynthia had not yet joined a synagogue in Atlanta but hopes to join one soon. Both Cynthia and Stuart Farber are retired and enjoy living close to two of their children and grandchildren.  Finally, Cynthia reflects on the impact of Hurricane Katrina on her life and the city of New Orleans.
