Hidden In Plain Sight - The Untold Story of the Holocaust In Serbia
Guest speaker: Julie Brill
Wednesday 25 March- 12 PM - 1.30 PM (NZDT). Online Only.
Hidden in Plain Sight tells 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 ninety per cent 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.
Julie Brill has been collecting family stories since she was a little girl. She is the author of the new book Hidden in Plain Sight: A Family Memoir and the Untold Story of the Holocaust in Serbia, which Menachem Kaiser called ‘a powerful reminder of why our stories—personal, familial, historical—are so crucial’. Jonathan Sarna said Hidden in Plain Sight is ‘a standout among Holocaust memoirs. It provides an object lesson in how to carry out research and what it takes to recover lost family secrets. It's an extraordinary book. Julie has written for Haaretz, The Forward, Kveller, The Times of Israel, Balkan Insight, and elsewhere.
