Lessons from the Holocaust: An Informational Session with Laura Hatosy
Join the Reading Public Library for an evening to recognize Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Ninety-Nine percent of Danish Jews survived the Holocaust despite Nazi occupation. Other nations lost 50-80% of their Jewish populations. In this hour-long learning session, Laura Hatosy will give a historical overview of various psychological, cultural, and historical reasons for how and why the Danes were able to protect people in their community. Her discussion will explore the historical context in Denmark and how we can apply these principles to our lives today.
Registration is not required.
Laura earned her Masters degree at Harvard University and taught high school history for several years. It was while teaching the Holocaust curriculum, Facing History and Ourselves, that she learned about the story of Terezin, the camp on which her young adult novel, Drawn from Memory, is based.
