Never Too Late: Author Lisa Gruenberg with My City of Dreams

Join us for an online talk with Lisa Gruenberg, author of My City of Dreams. We are requiring registration because this talk will be happening via Zoom, details of which will be emailed to registrants. 2-3pm April 30, 2020.

In this second-generation Holocaust memoir, Gruenberg, confronted with her elderly father’s flashbacks, begins to inhabit the story of his sister Mia, who disappeared into Germany in 1941. After her father’s death in 2005, Gruenberg traveled to Vienna, Germany and Israel to explore this lost landscape, and to trace the fates of Mia, their extended family, friends and neighbors. She wove her own story with theirs, linking them together with photographs, archival and primary source material, family letters, diaries, her father’s writing, his genealogy research, and the joyful tales he told her long ago.
