"Where are You?" Looking for Loved Ones after the War"

Sunday November 15
7:00 pm
A special evening with renowned historian and Clark University Professor Debórah Dwork 
Temple Beth Elohim | 10 Bethel Rd, Wellesley, MA

Jewish families in Nazi Europe tried to hold onto each other through letters. But wartime conditions applied. Letters were censored, and could not be sent between belligerent nations. How to keep in contact? And, once connection was established, what to say — and about what to remain silent? In her presentation, Professor Dwork will explain the ingenious ways people kept in contact. And she will trace how letters became threads stitching loved ones into each other's constantly changing daily lives.

Debórah Dwork is the Rose Professor of Holocaust History and the author of many award-wining books. As the founding Director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University, she has given shape to a new forum for education and scholarship, dedicated to teaching, research, and public service about the Holocaust and other genocides.
