HMTC Book Club March 18th - The Girls of the Glitter Factory by Jennifer Coburn (on Zoom)

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

Hannah and Hilde, old childhood friends, led simple lives before the Nazis came, but once they took over, Hannah was sent to a concentration camp and Hilde went to work for Hitler. These two young women would meet again over Hilde’s audacious plan to make a propaganda film at Theresienstadt, where Hannah is imprisoned. While Hilde wants to show the world that the Jews are being treated well, Hannah is determined to show the world the truth.  Join us for a story about the power of propaganda and the great force of resistance.

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