Miller
Center Building - Contemporary Jewish Studies
A discussion
is scheduled about the recently published book, “HUNGARIAN PATCHWORK: Journeys
of Seven Jews from Fascism to Communism to Freedom,” edited by our senior
member, Peter Tarjan with Susan V. Meschel.
Dr. Haim Shaked, the Center’s Director will
moderate the event. It is a collection, or “patchwork” of personal stories by
seven protagonists, who as children
outlived the Shoah in Hungary, reporting about their survival during Nazi
occupation in 1944-45, followed by their lives under Stalinist communism from
1948-56, their escape following the ’56 Uprising, and their growing new roots
in the Free World. Aside from the editors, George Pick is the only one alive
among the protagonists today.
The work is
dedicated to the others: Andrew Handler, Gabor Kalman, Peter O. Milch and Éva
Székely. And for migrants everywhere who seek peace and a better life in the
Free World.
The Miller Center
is located at the Coral Gables Campus of the University of Miami. The event is
scheduled from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. Parking is open to all after 4 pm. Refreshments
will be offered.
