SJAC Open Day Sunday 26th February 2023
About
Our February Open Day will feature Maria Chamberlain who is the author of "Never Tell Anyone You Are Jewish - My Family, the Holocaust and the Aftermath", the story of two assimilated Jewish families in Nazi-occupied Poland in the eye of the Holocaust. The two families were joined by marriage after the war and Maria was born soon after. Not surprisingly her mother initially urged her to hide her Jewishness. Later, in old age, she relented, recognising that testimonies make history, and that the lives of those who perished deserve to be celebrated. The material in the book is compiled from recounted memories of the survivors, unfinished memoirs, letters, photographs, and historical archivesLocation
