HMTC Book Club February 18 - The Postcard by Anne Berest (On-Zoom)

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY, 11542 United States (map)

When an anonymous postcard arrives in the mail along with the usual winter holiday cards, the lives of everyone in the close Parisian family are suddenly sent into a tailspin. On it are the names of four family members murdered at Auschwitz decades ago. But who sent it, and why? Thus, begins a journey that becomes a compelling investigation into family secrets, a poignant tale of mothers and daughters, and a luminous story of a Jewish family devastated by the Holocaust yet partially restored through the power of storytelling.

Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence, will lead the discussion.
