Several of our authors - Rita Benn, Avishay Hayut, Natalie Iglewicz, and Ruth Wade, attended the 32nd annual conference of the WFJSHD for the first time in St. Louis. We were delighted to share information about our book, learn about new resources, have deep conversations, and discover so many serendipitous connections - from those related to the University of Michigan, our birth cities, and histories of our parents' wartime experiences. In addition to our panel presentation, Ruth and Rita also offered a workshop on the legacy of writing about the 2G experience. With multiple sessions to choose from, they found that over 1/4 of the conference attended their program. With guided writing prompts, and facilitated opportunities to reflect and share, many participants indicated that they had overcome writing blocks that they had been experiencing for years. Our authors were so very grateful to Charley Silow for inviting us to be a part of this wonderful experience.
