In observance of Yom HaShoah / Days of Remembrance 2020, the Ruby brothers will co-host an online salon and film screening by Zoom videoconference on Sunday, April 19.

The event will highlight “Holocaust Narratives In a Time of Peril: Two Retrospectives.”

The first narrative is that of Michael Edelstein, whose survival experience in western Ukraine in 1942-44 is the subject of the Ruby brothers' new book, Live Another Day: How I Survived the Holocaust and Realized the American Dream, by Michael Edelstein with Walter and Dan Ruby. We'll introduce Michael's story using the rich multimedia features of our recently launched website at LiveAnotherDayBook.com.

The second narrative is presented in a new documentary film, Nobody Wants Us, about three teenagers and their families hoping to make it safely onto American soil while trying to escape the Nazi invasion of Europe. Filmmaker Laura Seltzer-Duny will co-host the virtual salon together with the Ruby Brothers. There will be a screening of the 37-minute film.

To facilitate online dialogue, attendance is by invitation only and limited to 20 participants, including Jewish and interfaith leaders concerned with present-day persecutions. Up to five invitations are available by request. Email Dan Ruby to request a seat.
