An Evening with Arthur Myron Horwitz

Join us for an evening on on Wednesday, September 23 at 7 pm with Connecticut native Arthur Myron Horwitz, author of Dual Identities: Living in Meier's Shadow. Arthur's memoir reveals his experience as a child of a Holocaust survivor whose mother insists an iconic photo of a boy in the Warsaw Ghetto is her murdered brother for whom Arthur is named. Arthur is made to understand that he is living not only his own life, but the life his never got to have. He provides new insights on the impact of intergenerational trauma as well as lessons for combating an alarming rise in national and global antisemitism.

Arthur's book also provides a personal glimpse into post-World War II Jewish life in Connecticut. You will recognize many names and places mentioned in the book!

The West Hartford location will be announced after registration.
