Elizabeth Rosner’s “Survivor Cafe” Book Discussion | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

East Bay Booksellers welcomes Elizabeth Rosner to discuss the paperback release of Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the Labyrinth of Memory, on Wednesday, September 5th at 7pm.

As firsthand survivors of many of the twentieth century’s most monumental events-the Holocaust, Hiroshima, the Killing Fields-begin to pass away, Survivor Café addresses urgent questions: How do we carry those stories forward? How do we collectively ensure that the horrors of the past are not forgotten?

Survivor Café offers a clear-eyed sense of the enormity of our twenty-first-century human inheritance-not only among direct descendants of the Holocaust but also in the shape of our collective responsibility to learn from tragedy, and to keep the ever-changing conversations alive between the past and the present.
