BOOK LAUNCH: Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia

Join us for the launch of Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia! Author Julie Brill will be in conversation with Judy Rakowsky, author of Jews in the Garden: A Holocaust Survivor, the Fate of His Family, and the Secret History of Poland in World War II.

"In quiet, lovely prose, Julie Brill has delivered a powerful reminder of why our stories-personal, familial, historical-are so crucial. A moving excavation of a family story."
-Menachem Kaiser, author of Plunder: A Memoir of Family Property and Nazi Treasure

Discover a powerful, untold chapter of Holocaust history and a daughter's enduring quest to know the story that began a generation before her birth. From childhood, Julie Brill struggled to understand how her father survived as a young Jewish boy in Belgrade, where Nazis murdered 90 percent of the Jewish population without gas chambers or cattle cars. Through exacting research, a bit of luck, and three emotional trips to Serbia, she pieces together her family's lost past, unearths secrets, and returns to her father a small part of what the Nazis stole: his own family history.
