Join Dr. Batia Cohen for a conversation about Shura, a historical novel that chronicles the life of Holocaust survivor Szifra (Shura) Pupko. A secret discovered in adolescence sets the story in motion and shapes the course of her life. During World War II, she leaps from a train bound for Majdanek and finds refuge with the Bielski partisans. After the war, she rebuilds her life in Mexico, carrying the memories and relationships that define a life survived.

Batia will discuss her research and interviews with survivors, and the ethical challenges of rendering testimony into narrative. A short reading will be followed by audience Q&A. Signed copies available.

Registration coming soon!
