Description: |
Holocaust Survivor Irving Roth will talk with Meryl Ain about her new novel, The Takeaway Men, which offers insights into the impact of the Holocaust on both the post-war life of Survivors and their children. With the cloud of the Holocaust still looming over them, twin sisters Bronka and Johanna Lubinski and their parents arrive in the US from a Displaced Persons Camp, hoping to build a new life. Poignant and haunting, "The Takeaway Men" explores the impact of immigration, identity, prejudice, secrets, and lies on parents and children in mid twentieth-century America. Author Meryl Ain’s articles and essays have appeared in Huffington Post, The Jewish Week, The New York Times, and Newsday, and at MariaShriver.com among other outlets. She is both a student and educator of history, as well as a school administrator and researcher. Holocaust Survivor, Irving Roth, is the director of the Holocaust Resource Center at the Temple Judea of Manhasset, New York. Roth is a writer and internationally known educator and his story is now on display as a permanent memorial at the entrance to Auschwitz. Thane Rosenbaum is a novelist, essayist, law professor, and Distinguished University Professor at Touro College, where he directs the Forum on Life, Culture & Society. He hosts The Talk Show at the 92nd Street Y. His most recent book is entitled, Saving Free Speech… from Itself. |
