Roundtable Discussion on Anna Muller's An Ordinary Life? The Journeys of Tonia Lechtman, 1918-1996

Presenter: 
Various
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Tue, 05/16/2023 - 15:00 to 16:30

Tonia Lechtman was a Jew, a loving mother and wife, a Polish patriot, a committed communist, and a Holocaust survivor. Throughout her life, these identities brought her to multiple countries – Poland, Palestine, Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, and Israel – where she lived on the margins of society during some of the most pivotal and cataclysmic decades of the twentieth century.
This roundtable will discuss Anna Müller’s book, which is not a mere biography of a remarkable woman, but also offers a view of the troubled history of twentieth-century Europe.
