- **Event Description**: Edith Netter is a retired attorney, researcher, and lifelong storyteller who set out to recover a family history that had long gone unspokenAbout this EventWhat happens when a family’s story is too painful to tell — and one generation decides it must be remembered?Join Maine author Edith Netter for a powerful conversation about The House at Schumannstrasse 7: A Memoir, a Holocaust survivor’s story told in the voice of the author’s grandmother, Alice Rothschild Netter.From a beloved Berlin home seized by the Nazis to imprisonment in a German concentration camp, from British internment camps to the Kindertransport, this remarkable journey traces one family’s fight to survive in the face of relentless upheaval. At its center is a little-known and never-before-chronicled escape: a perilous journey on a “sealed train” from Berlin to Lisbon — and, ultimately, to freedom.More than a story of survival, this memoir is a testament to grit, courage, and the stubborn insistence on hope — even when the future is uncertain and the past is too painful to speak aloud.In sharing her grandmother’s voice, Edith Netter helps ensure that memory is not lost to silence — and that stories once hidden can continue to illuminate the present.BioEdith Netter is a retired attorney, researcher, and lifelong storyteller who set out to recover a family history that had long gone unspoken.A mystery enthusiast and world traveler, Edith spent years researching her family’s past, retracing her grandmother’s journey to freedom and uncovering stories that were at once harrowing, deeply personal, and historically significant. Her work brings to light a chapter of Holocaust history that is both unique and newly documented.In addition to her writing, Edith has edited land use law publications, taught land use law in graduate programs and law schools, been a Loeb Fellow at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard, served on city and nonprofit boards, and co-produced a nationally televised documentary on women in Pr*son.Registration is free but required.
