Sunday, January 4th, 2009 - Talk “Make Me Bitter”: French Jewish Memory Of the 76,000 Jews rounded up during World War II by French authorities and deported to Auschwitz, fewer than 3,000 returned. How can we reconcile France’s reputation as a haven for refugees, its glorious heritage of liberalism and human rights, with the decades of silence surrounding these events? Author and French historian Lisa Lieberman explores the dilemma of being Jewish in France. 2pm Cost: $5
