Don’t miss Ari Richter on the Shedding Light, Carrying Light: Bringing Family History into the Future panel at the Brooklyn Book Festival!
When you’re raised on a family history of persecution and perseverance, the sense of responsibility for carrying it forward can feel immense. And if you find yourself questioning its expectations while witnessing new menace in the present day, your task as a storyteller can be even more challenging – and more fruitful. Join us @bkbookfestival on Sun. 9/29 at 1pm at Center for Brooklyn History in a discussion with Solomon Brager (Heavyweight), Eddie Ahn (Advocate), and Ari Richter (Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz) about how to handle mythology and memory with compassion, dedication — even humor. Moderated by Joan Hilty.
