Description

Tuesday, August 7: How did a single immigrant mother survive on her own in America? Through her wits, her imagination, and above all, her hands.

How did memories of the Holocaust affect the life and livelihood of one Holocaust survivor in New England?

What legacy did she leave? What are the implications of her legacy today?

Come listen to memoirist, Hanna Perlstein Marcus, speak about her life with her mother, Sidonia, a master dressmaker and designer, and Holocaust survivor. She will talk about her books, Sidonia’s Thread and Surviving Remnant, the first two books in the Sidonia’s Thread trilogy. You will learn the challenges of a foreign-born woman with no family except a young daughter and how she overcame her sorrow with the creative talent that made a name for her in Western New England. Her fashions live on today and will be on exhibition in 2019! Come hear a story like no other post-Holocaust story you have every heard.
