2009-2010 Distinguished Lecture Series with Stephen Glant
01:48PM / Thursday, September 03, 2009
LENOX, Mass. - On Sunday, September 20th from 4 to 6 pm, the Lenox Library will offer the first of its 2009-2010 Distinguished Lecture Series with Stephen Glantz, a multiple award-winning television and screen writer, producer, and director, discussing his new book, Clara’s War: One Girl’s Story of Survival, co-authored by Polish-born Holocaust survivor and diarist, Clara Kramer.
This gripping thriller and heartbreaking drama of human kindness is based on the dairy of a Polish-Jewish teenage girl hiding from the Nazis in an underground bunker with 17 other people for 20 terrifying months during the Second World War. Unlike Anne Frank, Clara survived against all odds while learning about relatives and friends who had been killed.
Clara Kramer’s diary is now in the permanent collection of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. She lives in New Jersey where she is co-founder and president of the Holocaust Resource Foundation at Kean University.
Mr. Glantz, who lives in Lee, Massachusetts, will be available after his discussion to sign copies of Clara’s War (Ecco Press/Harper Collins, April 2009) which will be for sale at this event courtesy of The Bookstore in Lenox.
Each of the series’ monthly lectures, organized and hosted by Professor Jeremy Yudkin, is scheduled on a Sunday at 4:00pm in the Sedgwick Reading Room of the Lenox Library at 18 Main Street, Lenox, MA. All lectures are free and open to the public; no reservations are required. For information about future lectures in this series, please visit the Library’s “Calendar of Events” at www.lenoxlib.org.
