The daughter of Holocaust survivors - who has been researching her family history and looking for surviving relatives for more than 50 years - traveled to ancestral villages in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Germany.
Deborah Long will speak about her research trip on Wednesday, August 25. The dessert-and-discussion event, from 7.30-9.30pm, will be in a private home and is for the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation.
Long will recount her shocking 2009 unearthing of family artifacts that compelled her to visit ancestral villages in Slovakia, Poland and Hungary, and also to northern Germany to understand her parents' Holocaust history.
The presentation includes her methodology, her trip through shtetls and concentration camps and joyful discovery upon returning home.
A professional educator, Long has written more than 20 books, including a memoir about growing up as a child of survivors.
Those who donate $118 or more to the Durham-Chapel Hill Jewish Federation will receive a free copy of her book.
