The Institutue for Holocaust Education in collaboraton with the Jewish Federation of Omaha sponsored a presentation about our book for their monthly lunch and learn series. On June 20th, Fran Lewy Berg, Joy Wolfe Ensor and Rita Benn zoomed in to offer riveting readings from their chapters and respond to audience questions. We continue to be reminded of the importance in sharing our stories when we see the tears shed by audience members who are so deeply moved by our words. We are grateful to the Executive Director for this opportunity who reiterated again to us in an email: "It was a honor to learn from you."  You can view the recording of our presentation at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXuuiz7GQgI

On June 4, Temple Shir Shalom of West Bloomfield, MI welcomed authors Julie Ellis, Joy Wolfe Ensor and Ruth Taubman to read from their chapters and share the origin story of our book. Shir Shalom’s Book Club had read our book and, realizing the importance of our message, opened the gathering to the entire congregation. More than 40 people attended and joined in a very meaningful discussion on how the ripple effects of the Holocaust relate to all of us. We are grateful that our book presentation was so warmly received and found to be so pertinent to the current geo-political world situation.
