Legacies, festivals and a world of talent

Congregation Beth Israel is partnering with Village Books to present author Diane Sue, who will discuss her new book, “Remarkable Resilience: The Life and Legacy of Noémi Bán Beyond the Holocaust,” in person at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 6 at Congregation Beth Israel.

The book is written in Bán’s voice by one of her closest friends and preserves Bán’s messages of hope and healing. The author will be joined by Bán’s son, Dr. Steven Bán, and by Ray Wolpow, professor emeritus and former director of the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes against Humanity at Western Washington University. Masks will be required by all at this event. The event is free, but registration is advised. More information about the author and the book is at villagebooks.com/event.
