As a 5 year old child, Tova was imprisoned with her mother in Auschwitz. She will share her story and describe how she survived. She is a powerful speaker and has a crucial story to tell.
Tova will also be signing copies of her books during a post-lecture reception. Copies of Tova’s book The Daughter of Auschwitz are available at Card Carrying Books, a local bookseller located at 15 East Market Street (607-684-6114). Supplies are limited so get yours soon. Additional copies of this book, as well as copies of The Girl Who Lived to Tell Her Story, a young readers' edition of her memoir, will be available for purchase at the event. The Southeast Steuben County Library is providing a donated copy of The Girl Who Lived to Tell Her Story to each of the first fifty students at this year's Spiegler Lecture.
