Description: Sons of Survivors, written by Aron Hirt-Manheimer and Marty Yura is a dual memoir that traces the colorful growing-up adventures of two sons of survivors through fast-paced alternating passages. Though the Holocaust formed the backdrop of their lives, it was only as older adults that they set out to try to piece together what happened to their families during the war -- and to bear witness. For Aron, the most powerful revelations were contained in a nearly forgotten memoir written by his uncle fifty years earlier in Argentina. Marty’s breakthrough came after participating in a Zen Peacemakers immersion retreat on the killing fields of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Navigating through this haunted terrain together, the friends realized that the love they inherited from their parents transcends the trauma. Their joint memoir attests to a legacy of love against hate. Hirt-Manheimer and Yura will be in conversation about their book with Dr. Michael Berenbaum. To register, click here.
