Join us for a virtual conversation with Jane Ziegelman, author of the newly released Once There Was a Town. Jane will be in discussion with Glenn Kurtz, author of Three Minutes in Poland: Discovering a Lost World in a 1938 Family Film.

By the end of World War II, six million Jews had been erased from the world. Those who survived often lost their homes, families and entire way of life. In response, they drew on a long tradition of self-narration, gathering in groups to write yizkor books—memorial volumes that remembered everything that had been destroyed. Once There Was a Town takes readers on a journey through this largely uncharted body of writing and the vanished world it preserves

Registration is required, here. Tickets are free.

This event is hosted by the Montreal Holocaust Museum in partnership with the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre and the Toronto Holocaust Museum.
