Join us for a unique and moving conversation between a Holocaust survivor and his son as they explore how family stories are passed down, withheld, and eventually uncovered. More than an author talk, this intergenerational discussion reflects on one family’s journey from the Warsaw Ghetto to a new life in America, the lasting impact of survival across generations, and the importance of preserving testimony while firsthand voices can still be heard.

Despite the weight of the subject, the talk will be infused with humor, resilience, and humanity.

Todd Diamond is a writer and former advertising copywriter. Auhtor of Pass the Trauma, Please: My Father’s Not-So-Depressing Holocaust Memoir About Love, Loss, Laughter, and Legacy.
