The New Canaan library was full to capacity last week despite that horrible rainstorm (yes, another rainy night on the east coast).  I thank all of you for coming to hear this little known story of what happened in Italy during the Holocaust.  Thank you for your warm reception – especially for Ursula Korn Selig.  It was a wonderful evening that had an extra surprise for me. 

Esta and Jay Feinsod invited us to dinner.  They read the book on the way to Italy and were so taken by the story that they went to Campagna and visited the Museum of Memory and Peace. My cousin, Antonio was their guide!  They wrote to me about their experience and I was delighted to meet them and hear why they visited Campagna.  They did not know this story of goodness amidst evil during the Holocaust and did not know the story of Jews in Italy. It was the highlight of their 12 day trip.

I was delighted that they agreed to speak and tell the audience of their journey.  This is what this book is about.  It brings people together in unexpected ways.  

Thank you Cynde and Kathleen for hosting the event.  You were wonderful.
