Author Lev Raphael will speak on “My Germany: A Jewish Writer Returns to the World His Parents Escaped” on March 5, 7 p.m., at Congregation Sinai, 8223 N. Port Washington Rd. in Fox Point.
A son of Holocaust survivors, Raphael was certain that he would never visit Germany, but after his mother’s death, his research led him to seek out a distant relative in the city where she had been a slave laborer. Raphael previously spoke in Milwaukee at the community’s Yom HaShoah commemoration in 2011 (see April 2011 Chronicle).
This lecture is offered as part of “Roots & Restlessness,” the continuing series presented by the Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The Jewish Museum Milwaukee, Coalition for Jewish Learning, and the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center are all series co-sponsors. For more information, call 414-229-6121.
