Please join us for a unique learning adventure where we will take a deep dive in exploring our book over a 6-week period in a virtual book club format sponsored by Nautilus, a prestigious organization that awarded our book with a Silver Award. Our book club will feature a different topic each week with a variety of our authors. Participants will have opportunity to engage in live discussion with our authors and have access to a curated number of resources to supplement weekly presenting themes, and more generally, the second-generation history. In addition, sessions will include guided practices to encourage self-reflection, and experience compassion, gratitude, and tolerance We are limiting this series to only 20 participants so best to register early at this url. We so look forward to being with you through this venue.

SlidingDors, a small program of the Jewish agency, Partnership2gether, offers participating members the opportunity to traverse the division of boundaries of country and periodically come together in one intimate community to share their stories of growing up in the shadow of the Holocaust. We were honored to be invited as a guest panel for this program. To best meet our audience, we decided to choose authors for our speaking panel who would represent the lived experience of diverse countries. On December 10 through Zoom, authors Avishay Hayut originally from Israel, Eszter Gombosi from Hungary, Rita Benn from Canada and Ruth Wade from the USA presented snapshots of  our writing experience and life stories to individuals residing in Hungary, Israel, and US communities, such as Ohio, Texas and Omaha, to name a few. Each time we present we continue to be touched by how meaningful our audiences find our stories. We find that through our presentations and discussions, we are helping to draw out stories from our listeners, to validate aspects of their own histories and to reflect anew on their life narratives. We are also benefitting so much by  furthering our understanding of the impact of the Holocaust, and forging new connections across the globe. What an unexpected gift and incredible journey we are on!
