Kristallnacht Commemoration with Marsha Lederman
Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024
7:00pm to 9:00pm
10
Marsha Lederman, a staff columnist with the Globe and Mail, will speak about her story as a second generation Holocaust survivor.
Marsha recently published her first book, Kiss the Red Stairs: The Holocaust, Once Removed which became a national bestseller and won the Western Canada Jewish Book Award for Memoir or Biography in 2023.
Marsha’s mother – from Radom, Poland – survived several camps, including Auschwitz. Marsha’s father – from Lodz, Poland – escaped slave labour under the Nazis and took on a new identity, surviving the war on a farm in Germany, pretending to be Catholic.
As Marsha – now a mother herself – struggles in her own life, she begins to research the science behind epigenetics and intergenerational trauma. She finds answers, parallels with other communities, and finally, hope.
Join Marsha and the Federation's Holocaust Education Committee to mark Kristallnacht and a discussion around memory and resonance.
