About this event
Sold out — the Center for Jewish History currently lists this in-person event as sold out.
Michael Moritz discusses Ausländer: One Family's Story of Escape and Exile with Meredith Kopit Levien. The memoir follows his parents' flight from Nazi Germany and their lives in Britain, drawing on family papers he examined after his mother's death. Their conversation considers memory, displacement, identity and belonging, and the experience of uncovering a family history shaped by the Holocaust. A reception and book sales follow the discussion.
German, Austrian or Swiss connection
Moritz was born in Cardiff, Wales, not Germany. His parents escaped Nazi Germany, and his memoir explores that German-Jewish family history. The connection is German-Jewish heritage and exile, which are also the central subjects of the evening.
