Charlotte Smokler's interview starts with her account of her family's emigration from Poland when she was a young girl. She describes her childhood in New York City and her move to Boulder with her husband in 1968. She talks about her jobs and community involvement in Boulder such as her job managing the Daily Camera's clipping library, writing book reviews for the Camera, running a Jewish film series for Congregation Bonai Shalom, and helping to catalog book donations for the Boulder Public Library. The heart of the interview centers around an exploration of Jewish identity as she encountered it during her childhood and in later years, including ways in which Boulder and its Jewish congregations have grown and changed.
