Trinity On Main, the United Church in Newmarket, is presenting an author book talk with two books by children of Holocaust Survivors. Sunday evening at 7:00 on November 2nd, 2025.
I'm planning to go, and will have dinner on Main St. before the event.
There is no cost to attend, but kindly reserve your seat on Eventbrite.
The books will be available for purchase.
Here's a little bit of what I found on the internet about the books:
Winter Light: Vivid and lyrical, Winter Light is a deeply moving memoir dedicated to all who are coming from places of trauma. It is about the vast unknown territory of the human heart, where love and hope can rise above everything – in spite of the ghosts that still haunt you.
About the Author: Grace Feuerverger was born and raised in her beloved city of Montréal surrounded by a multitude of languages and cultures inside and outside her home. She is professor emerita of education and ethnography at the University of Toronto, and taught courses on language, culture and identity as well as peace education for many years.
Walking with Oma: Offering a poignant tale of reconciliation with the past against a backdrop of forgiveness and acceptance, Walking with Oma will resonate profoundly with those grappling with displacement and identity. For enthusiasts of both introspective narratives and captivating travelogues, Walking with Oma offers an experience both enriching and enlightening.
About the Author: Angie Littlefield was born in Hamburg, Germany and immigrated to Canada in 1954. She holds an Honours B.A. in English Language and Literature from the University of Toronto, as well as a Master of Arts in English from York University. An educator for 33 years, Angie has written extensively on a variety of topics. She lives and works in Toronto
