From Broken Glass: My Story of Finding Hope in Hitler's Death Camps to Inspire a New Generation.
Tuesday, June 5 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 at Boston Athenæum
An event in celebration of Steve Ross, former Psychologist for the City of Boston and founder of the New England Holocaust Memorial. In this event, you shall hear from Mike Ross, Ross' son, and Glenn Frank and Brian Wallace, co-authors of Ross' memoir, From Broken Glass: My Story of Finding Hope in Hitler's Death Camps to Inspire a New Generation. Mayor Marty Walsh, Former Mayor Ray Flynn, and Executive Director of the Anti-Defamation League Robert Trestan will also speak to the contributions of this remarkable individual. A book signing with Steve Ross and Mike Ross will take place after the event.
As a young child in Nazi-occupied Poland, Steve Ross (then Smulek Rozental) endured unspeakable violence and deprivation in nine concentration camps. He lost most of his family to the Holocaust, but through sheer determination and a lot of luck, he survived his brutal ordeal and went on to emigrate to the United States, where he built a successful career helping ensure that inner-city youth in Boston, Massachusetts would not only never experience suffering as he had but would also have the chance to overcome the obstacles in their path to pursue their dreams. From Broken Glass is a wise and intimate memoir about finding strength in the face of despair and an inspiring meditation on how we can unlock the morality within us to build a better world.
Registration is NOT required. Free and open to the public
