Book Discussion: Into the Forest: A Holocaust Story of Survival, Triumph, and Love

"A gripping narrative that reads like a page-turning thriller novel," says NPR of journalist Rebecca Frankel’s book Into the Forest. Read this riveting account of one family’s escape from a small Polish town and their survival for two years under life-threatening conditions in the Bialowieza Forest. Then join Amy Weiss, Director of the Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Hartford, to tease out the central themes of this World War II story and to discuss your reactions, including the question of why this story continues to inspire us today. Rebecca Frankel will offer her personal take in a Zoom segment at the end of the session in which you can ask her your questions.
