SUMMARY:Books & Bagels with Jason Sommer\, Author of "Shmuel's Bridge"
DESCRIPTION:Have brunch with the Jason Sommer\, local author of Shmuel’s Bridge: Following the Tracks to Auschwitz with My Survivor Father\nWe’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. \nJason 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. \nProgram\n10am Doors Open & Brunch Served:\n11am–Noon Author presentation \nFeatured Author Jason Sommer\nFrom 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. \n\nRegister\nJ Members/Non-Members: $12.97 (includes brunch & all fees) \nBUY TICKETS

SUMMARY:Hidden History: A Memoir of Survival in Paris – An NJT "Prayer for the French Republic" Special Experience
DESCRIPTION: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. \nPhilosopher 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. \nThe event will be led by Dr. Dorian Stuber\, Emeritus Professor at Hendrix College and member of the Missouri Holocaust Education and Awareness Commission. \nParticipants are encouraged\, but not expected\, to read the book beforehand. Books are available through the Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum gift shop. \nSpecial 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. \nRegister
