The community is invited to join us for this very special event celebrating the legacy of testimony provided by our local survivors. This book fair, featuring books written by or about local survivors, includes an opportunity to purchase books from the authors and to meet the authors or children of the survivors.
Books available that day feature the testimony of survivors Maria Devinki, Ben Edelbaum, Fela Igielnik, Judy Jacobs, Alice Kern, Klaus Frank, Jack Mandelbaum, Erika Mandler, and Bronia Roslawowski. MCHE will sell From the Heart: Life Before and After the Holocaust, featuring the profiles of 52 survivors and refugees. Survivors may be present to meet visitors and sign their profiles in the book.
This come-and-go event but registrations are requested to help us plan appropriate inventory for book sales. This program is co-sponsored by Jewish Experiences.
