We’re thrilled to be to be welcoming Bernice Graham to speak to us this semester. Her father survived Auschwitz-Birkenau, and she’s going to talk about what it was actually like to grow up in his shadow.
Most of what we learn about the Holocaust is about the events themselves. Bernice’s story is about what came after: the silences, the stories, and what life was like in a home where the past was always there. It’s a perspective you don’t often get, and it’s one we think is really worth hearing, especially as fewer survivors are able to share their stories first-hand.
Bernice will be joining us over Zoom, and we’ll have her on screen in the room. There’ll be time for questions at the end. We just ask that everyone keeps questions thoughtful and respectful.
The talk starts at 5:00pm sharp. Tickets cost £1, and all proceeds to go to the Holocaust Educational Trust who have set up this talk for us.
All are welcome. Hope to see you there!
