This is such an importance event, and given the anniversary is sure to bring considerable participation. In conduction with this anniversary, New York City's 92nd Street Y is hosting an event by journalist Keren Blankfeld about her new book, Lovers in Auschwitz: A True Story. Blankfeld has written many articles about the Holocaust for The New York Times. (In the interest of full disclosure, she is a family member by marriage.). The event will be available online as well as in person.
Blankfeld's articles include:
He Sang for His Captors at Auschwitz. 75 Years Later He Sang There Again.
The Secret History of America's Only WWII Refugee Camp
