Nancy Miller

Wednesday, February 15 at the Washington DCJCC

In her new memoir, What They Saved: Pieces of a Jewish Past, Nancy K. Miller tells the story of how she reconstructed her family’s missing past from a handful of mysterious objects found in dresser drawers and apartment closets after her father’s death.

Debbie Levy

Wednesday, March 14 at the Jewish Military Museum.

Please join Debbie—and her mother!—for a discussion and slide show about her award-winning book The Year of Goodbyes, the book behind the book, the role of artifacts and mementoes in memory and personal history, and the special joys and challenges of writing a book about one’s very own mother.  Includes tour of the museum following the talk.
