Wednesday\, \;January 27\, 2021 is I nternational Holocaust Remembrance Day.
\nWhat they thought would be a week or two in an attic turned into almost two years. From the summer o f 1942 to mid 1944\, Rita Lurie and fourteen members of her family shared a nearly silent existence in a cramped\, dark attic\, subsisting on scraps of raw food.
\nYoung Rita watched helplessly as first her younger b rother then her mother died before her eyes. Motherless and stateless\, Ri ta and her surviving family spent the next five years wandering throughout Europe\, waiting for a country to accept them. \;
\n\;Lesl ie Gilbert-Lurie and her mother\, Rita Lurie\, provide powerful&mdash\;and inspiring&mdash\;evidence of the resilience of the human spirit\, relevan t to every culture in every corner of the world. By turns unimaginably dev astating and incredibly uplifting\, this firsthand account of survival and psychological healing offers a strong\, poignant message of hope in our o wn uncertain times.
\nRita Lurie\, that little girl who hid in the a ttic will be at this program. She will read an excerpt from the book and w ill be available for questions at the end of the program.
