Description:
Schindler’s Listed tells the story of Mark Biederman’s twenty-year quest to find gold coins which his father’s family buried in their backyard in Poland just prior to being deported by the Nazis to concentration camps. His father survived the war, but died when Mark was a teenager, leaving him only with the knowledge that he had buried the coins somewhere in Poland, and no information about his family. During his research, Biederman uncovered many interesting and disturbing facts about his parents and their families, such as the fact that his father was the third person on Oskar Schindler’s list and had a chance meeting with Adolf Hitler, and that his mother was selected as a cook for the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele.
Randi Biederman, co-author of the book, will discuss the journey to discover the family’s history during the Holocaust and their subsequent success in rebuilding their lives in the United States.
Randi Biederman is co-author of Schindler’s Listed: The Search for My Father’s Lost Gold. The non-fiction book tells the story of the Biederman family, of whom only two survived the very dark days of the Holocaust, the search for buried treasure, and a decades-long journey to uncover the truth about the family’s past. Randi is a former high school science teacher and spent her 30 years career in Windsor, Ontario. She is a widow, mother, horticulturist, writer, and speaker. Randi is a native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
