Deborah Levison, an award-winning journalist, author, and daughter of Holocaust survivors, is scheduled to speak at Congregation Adath Israel, 115 Huntingtown Road, on Sunday, April 28, at 2 pm.

A book signing and then refreshments donated by Sugar Magnolia Bakeshop of Newtown will follow the author’s presentation.

Ms Levinson’s book The Crate: A Story of War, A Murder, and Justice will be discussed. Released in 2018 (WildBlue Press), the true crime book offers the riveting story of her Hungarian parents’s incredible survival through ghettos, death marches, and concentration camps during World War II.

The family was eventually able to immigrate to Canada. After many years of peace, they were faced with a murder in their own backyard, awaking painful memories of their past.

There is no charge for the public event at the synagogue.

Reservations are not needed, but additional information is available by calling 203-426-5188.
