Hidden History: A Memoir of Survival in Paris – An NJT "Prayer for the French Republic" Special Experience
2026-04-29 19:00 - 20:30 | The J – Staenberg Family Complex (Arts & Education Building), 2 Millstone Campus Drive, St. Louis, MO, 63146
Join NJT for a conversation with Dr. Dorian Stuber about the book Rue Ordener, Rue Labat, which recounts philosopher Sarah Kofman’s experience hiding from the Nazis during World War II—a story set in similar circumstances as NJT’s production of Prayer for the French Republic.
Philosopher Sarah Kofman was born in Paris in 1934, five years after her parents emigrated to France from Poland. She was only a child when her father, a rabbi, was arrested and deported to Auschwitz in July 1942. For the rest of the war, Kofman and her mother found shelter with a former neighbor. Many years later, Kofman wrote a memoir of her wartime experiences, describing how she was saved—but also abused—by the non-Jewish woman she would come to call Mémé. The story is both unique to Kofman and representative of the French Jewish experience during WWII.
The event will be led by Dr. Dorian Stuber, Emeritus Professor at Hendrix College and member of the Missouri Holocaust Education and Awareness Commission.
Participants are encouraged, but not expected, to read the book beforehand. Books are available through the Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum gift shop.
Special thanks to the Rubin and Gloria Feldman Family Educational Institute for its support of NJT events that are designed to provide context for the production of Prayer for the French Republic.

Prayer for the French Republic
Reserve Tickets
by Joshua Harmon April 16-May 3, 2026 In 1944, a Jewish couple in Paris desperately await news of their missing family. More than 70 years later, the couple’s great-grandchildren find themselves facing the same question as their ancestors: “Are we safe?” Following five generations of a French-Jewish family, Prayer for the French Republic is a sweeping look at history, home and the effects of an ancient hatred.

For Adeena Sussman, the kitchen is an island of calm: a place where she can center her mind, set the rules, and create a daily haven of deliciousness through her cooking. These days, she finds herself embracing the mantra “when the going gets tough, the cooking gets easy.” Pandemics, wars, and the busy pace of a very full life have led her toward a smoother, more streamlined cooking approach embodied in the Hebrew word for quick, zariz, in her newest cookbook, Zariz: 100 Easy, Breezy, Tel Aviv-y Recipes (Avery; On-sale April 28).
This pared-down style doesn’t mean sacrificing the rhythms, sounds, and sensory pleasures we experience while preparing vibrant, yet simple recipes. Instead, it has led her to rely on fewer pots and pans, a more edited pantry of highly versatile ingredients to create maximum flavor, and simple, thoughtful techniques that bring meals together effortlessly—always with her signature, flavor-forward style.
Most of the recipes in this cookbook contain fewer than 12 ingredients—not including olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemons, which are staples of Adeena’s Middle Eastern & Mediterranean-inspired dishes, and already in most pantries. Recipes include:

Sunny Sheet Pan Shakshuka
Baharat-Spiced Mushroom Hummus
Gorgeous Green Salad with Labaneh-Lime Dressing
Hachapuri Pizza
Spice-Drawer Schnitzel
Preserved Lemon, Asparagus, & Cherry Tomato Orzotto
Grilled Hoisin-Harissa Lamb Chips & Plums with Herb Salad

About the Author

Adeena Sussman is the New York Times bestselling author of Shabbat and Sababa. She cooks and writes from her kitchen in Tel Aviv, where she lives in the city’s Carmel Market neighborhood with her husband, Jay Shofet.

Books & Bagels with Jason Sommer, Author of "Shmuel's Bridge"
2026-05-27 10:00 - 12:00 | The J – Staenberg Family Complex (Arts & Education Building), 2 Millstone Campus Drive, St. Louis, MO, 63146
Have brunch with the Jason Sommer, local author of Shmuel’s Bridge: Following the Tracks to Auschwitz with My Survivor Father
We’re excited to welcome St. Louis author Jason Sommer to Books & Bagels, the J’s literary brunch and learn series where great conversation, local authors, and fresh bagels come together for a meaningful mid-morning break.
Jason Sommer’s father, Jay, is ninety-eight years old and losing his memory. More than seventy years after arriving in New York from WWII-torn Europe, he is forgetting the stories that defined his life, the life of his family, and the lives of millions of Jews who were affected by Nazi terror. Observing this loss, Jason vividly recalls the trip to Eastern Europe the two took together in 2001. As father and son travel from the town of Jay’s birth to the labor camp from which he escaped, and to Auschwitz, where many in his family were lost, the stories Jason’s father has told all his life come alive. So, too, do Jason’s own memories of the way his father’s past complicated and impacted Jason’s own inner life. Shmuel’s Bridge shows history through a double lens: the memories of a growing son’s complex relationship with his father and the meditations of that son whom, now grown, finds himself caring for a man losing all connection to a past that must not be forgotten.
Program
10am Doors Open & Brunch Served:
11am–Noon Author presentation
Featured Author Jason Sommer
From a family of refugees and survivors, Jason Sommer is drawn to story. He is the author of five poetry collections, earning a number of honors, including an Anna Davidson Rosenberg Award for poems about the Jewish experience and a reading at ​“Speech and Silence: Poetry and the Holocaust” at the National Holocaust Memorial Museum. Jason lives in St. Louis, Missouri.

God of Carnage
by Yasmina Reza; Translated by Christopher Hampton
June 11- June 28, 2026
A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their principles in tatters.
