Description
In the summer of 1942, twenty-two year-old Franci Rabinek began a three-year journey that would take her from Terezin, the Nazis’ “model ghetto,” to the Czech family camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau, slave labor camps in Hamburg, and finally Bergen Belsen. Trained as a dress designer, Franci survived the war and would go on to establish a fashion salon in New York. Franci’s War is her memoir of life in Nazi-occupied Europe, introduced in this talk by her daughter Helen Epstein, a prolific journalist and author. Besides contributing to major dailies such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, Epstein has published several books including her highly acclaimed Holocaust Trilogy which begins with the volume Children of the Holocaust. Her work has been published in numerous languages. Sponsored by Judi Gottschalk UC San Diego Library, UC San Diego, La Jolla, 92093-0175 (https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/contact)
