Holocaust Memorial Day - A conversation with Jennifer Roy
Location: Case Center: Intercultural Center
Date: 04/13/2010
Time: 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Speaker: Jennifer Roy
Description:
A conversation with Jennifer Roy Author of the award winning book, Yellow Star Syvia is a young Jewish girl living in Poland. When the Nazis invade, Syvia's family is forced to move into the Lodz Ghetto. For the next five-and-a-half years Syvia, her parents, and sister Dora struggle to survive horrific conditions and Nazi brutality. Yellow Star is based on the true story of Jennifer Roy's aunt Syvia's childhood in the Lodz Ghetto. While a quarter of a million Jews entered the ghetto, only 800 were left alive when liberation came in 1945. Twelve of them were children. Jennifer Roy's aunt Syvia was one of those children.
Yellow Star provides readers a rare look at family life inside the Lodz Ghetto. Syvia's story is profoundly moving, suspenseful, uplifting, and even humorous at times. And it really happened.
Ms. Roy won the following awards for her book. A 2006 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award 2007 Sydney Taylor Book Awards Honor Book 2007 ALA Notable Children's Book 2006 National Jewish Book Awards Finalist 2006 School Library Journal Best Book 2006 The New York Public Library "100 Titles for Reading and Sharing" Starred Reviews: Publishers Weekly Booklist, School Library Journal VOY.
This conversation is a part of the Religious Life Dialogues that are co-sponsored by the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life and the Office of Jewish Student Live and Interfaith Programming.
