Join us in welcoming author Richard Hurowitz
As six million Jews were systematically exterminated during the Holocaust, a handful of non-Jewish people risked their lives to save the targeted and condemned. While only a few, such as Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg, have received lasting, international attention for their valor, Yad Vashem, the memorial to the Holocaust in Israel, has recognized some 27,000 who risked their lives to save Jews with a special garden in Jerusalem. Richard Hurowitz’s stirring IN THE GARDEN OF THE RIGHTEOUS: The Heroes Who Risked Their Lives to Save Jews During the Holocaust (Harper; January 24, 2023) pays tribute to these men and women, each of whom risked their life, liberty or career to help their neighbors, and often complete strangers, to survive.
Richard Hurowitz will be on-site signing books purchased at the Palm Beach Book Store.
