Life and Loss in the Shadow of the Holocaust: A Jewish Family's Untold Story
Sunday March 4, 1-3pm
Book Talk and Signing

This program will take place at the Myerberg Center

Join authors Rebecca Boehling and Uta Larkey as they reveal a family's recently discovered correspondence that provides the inspriation for this fascinating and deeply-moving account of the Kaufmann-Steinberg family's life before, during, and after the Holocaust. This family's unique eight-way correspondence across two generations brings into sharp focus the dilemma of Jews in Nazi Germany facing the painful decision of when and if they should leave Germany, and how a family was pulled apart under the Nazi regime and left divided in Germany, the US, and Palestine.  The authors capture the family memebers' fluctuating emotions of hope, optimism, resignation, and despair as well as the day-to-day concerns, experiences, and dynamics of family life despite increasing persecution and impending deportation
