Speaker
Our speaker was Suzanna Eibuszyc who provided an excellent program about Jewish life in Poland during and around the war.  Suzanna is a native of Poland who came to the US in the late 60's with her family. 
She has authored essays, stories, and the book "Memory is Our Home".  Using her mother's diary and journals as well as her family's own experience, she tells her mother's personal story and "paints a portrait of Jewish life during the interwar years in Poland".  Jews were deeply family oriented and that helped them through these times.  There were many hardships and dire conditions, documented and described in her mother's own words.  This very important part of history needs to be kept alive and never forgotten.  Suzanna speaks to students and adults, book clubs, libraries and conferences.  To learn more go to http://memoryisourhome.com"
