Well-known peace activist and Holocaust survivor Irene Hassenberg Butter will join us to discuss her life as shared in her book, Shores Beyond Shores: From Holocaust to Hope. Irene’s memoir of her experiences before, during, and after the Holocaust is not a recounting of misery and tragedy; rather it is the genuine story of a girl coming to terms with a terrible event and choosing to view herself as a survivor instead of a victim. She will be interviewed by Kris Holloway, co-author of Irene’s book and the author of Monique and the Mango Rains – one of our previous Book Club selections. (Please note: you do not need to read the book to attend this event. although we certainly encourage you to do so.)
