Jewish Book & Arts Festival: Sharon Kurtzman's The Lost Baker of Vienna | JCC Houston

A long-buried family mystery, cherished recipes and a journey across generations culminate in this novel about memory, identity and resilience. Rooted in the author’s family history, this remarkable story confronts the realities of the Jewish post-WWII experience. Spanning decades and continents, it follows Zoe Rosenzweig, a woman determined to uncover the truth about her family’s past, and Chana Rosenzweig, a baker in 1946 Vienna. Through both Zoe and Chana’s perspectives, we explore how stories are passed down, the choices we make to keep those we love safe and how we can take control of our story.

Reception follows program.
