A Community Read of our Book

We were delighted that the University of Michigan Osher Life-long Learning Institute (UM OLLI) selected "The Ones Who Remember: Second-Generation Voices of the Holocaust" as the selection for their Fall Community Read. On November 4, a panel of four contributing authors to this anthology - Sassa Akervall, Rita Benn, Joy Wolfe Ensor and Simone Yehuda, discussed some of the experiences depicted in their book to a sold-out audience. The panel was moderated by Marjorie Oliver who gave the following remarks: "I had no holocaust survivors in my family, I am a true WASP, so  I found this collection  to be deeply personal, deeply profound, ofttimes incredibly well-written and very moving. At this time in the world in which we live, we need to be reminded that 'all people are our kin' and of the power of hatred and necessity of confronting it."  A recording of this panel presentation has been made available to view through the UM OLLI catalog.
