High School Talk

On April 25th, Ruth Finkel Wade spoke with high school students at Dunedin High School in Florida. In her talk, she shared her father's story of Holocaust survival and described the complicated relationship she experienced with him which is depicted in her book chapter "Not Made of Glass". She also engaged in conversation with the class about the healing power of writing, and what she learned from the process - in particular, how, in her own words, "forgiveness starts with ourselves". The students listened attentively as she spoke about growing up in the shadow of her father’s trauma.​
