DUAL IDENTITIES: LIVING IN MEIER’S SHADOW WITH ARTHUR M. HORWITZ
Amherst, 2:00pm

One day, a young Arthur Horwitz, seeking to swipe a few bucks from his mother’s wallet, discovers an iconic Holocaust image of a terrified boy tucked inside. “Who’s this?” he demands of his mother. She insists it’s her little brother Meier, murdered by the Germans. But Arthur knows it isn’t. Now he is saddled with the responsibility of living two lives—his and the one little Meier never had. In this talk, Arthur M. Horwitz will share how this discovery became a burden that shaped his life, family, and media career.
