I think you could probably go back and track the stages of grief, probably that is what I went through. But I think if you do it right, you end up at acceptance. And that's where I ended up. And that's not to say that I've fully accepted the idea that the golden toad is extinct. Personally, I do still hold out hope that it could still be out there in those forests." - Trevor Ritland This conversation is with Trevor Ritland, who—along with his twin brother Kyle—authored The Golden Toad . The book chronicles their remarkable journey into Costa Rica’s cloud forest, once home to hundreds of brilliant golden toads that would emerge for just a few weeks each year—until, one day, they vanished without a trace. What began as a search for a lost species soon became something much more profound: a confrontation with ecological grief, a meditation on hope, and a powerful call to protect the natural world while we still can.

After years of “hiding” his background, Sid shares what finally inspired him to delve into his parents’ experiences—piecing together survivor stories from neighborhood gatherings in Boston, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn—and why he’s been guiding thousands of students through the Center’s galleries since 2004. Throughout their conversation, Sid and Bernie reflect on the small, everyday legacies of the Holocaust: the comforting aroma of kishka and chulent on a Brooklyn kitchen stove, the ritual of meticulously cleaning work tools until they gleamed, and the weekend trips to the Catskills where laughter became its own form of survival.
