SUMMARY:HMMSA Reads: "How to Share an Egg: A True Story of Hunger\, Love\, and Plenty" with author Bonny Reichert
DESCRIPTION:Hunger\, the prover­bial wolf at the door\, is a uni­ver­sal expe­ri­ence. Eat­ing may keep the beast at bay but it doesn’t tame it\; calo­ries alone can nour­ish the body\, but not the mind and soul. For many with PTSD\, includ­ing Holo­caust sur­vivors\, food can be an incom­plete escape into a more sta­ble life. In How to Share an Egg—a nar­ra­tive that inter­weaves the author’s own sto­ry with that of her Holo­caust-sur­vivor father\, Saul — Bon­ny Reichert explores how iden­ti­ty and trau­ma can be pre­served and trans­mut­ed across gen­er­a­tions. Saul’s mem­o­ries of suf­fer­ing and sus­te­nance feed Reichert’s hunger for under­stand­ing\, tikkun (repair)\, and healing.\nThis book begins in 1945 with Saul on the brink of star­va­tion after his recent lib­er­a­tion from the Flossen­bürg con­cen­tra­tion camp (pre­ced­ed by impris­on­ment in the Lodz Ghet­to\, Auschwitz-Birke­nau\, and Sach­sen­hausen). This moment anchors the inter­gen­er­a­tional trau­ma that Bon­ny explores through­out this book. Although her child­hood in Edmon­ton\, Cana­da could be described as genial\, that would deny the pro­found dark­ness that she strug­gles with. \nAuthor Bonny Reichert will join us via zoom.\nSponsored by the Barshop JCC and Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio\nTo learn more\, click here.&nbsp\;
