On November 16 at 7 p.m., renowned author and journalist Helen Epstein will discuss her mothers Holocaust memoir,  HYPERLINK "https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143135570" Franci's War that she edited and annotated for publication. Originally written in 1974, Franci Rabinek Epstein begins the story of her Holocaust ordeal in Prague with the German occupation of March 15, 1939 and continues with her deportation in the summer of 1942 to Terezin (Theresienstadt in German), the former fortress town forty miles north of Prague that the Nazis transformed into a transit camp/ghetto. It would be the start of a three-year nightmare that would take her to Auschwitz-Birkenau, to slave labor camps in Hamburg, and, finally, to Bergen Belsen, where in April 1945, she was liberated by the British. Her return to Prague finally came in August 1945. Franci was known in her group as the Prague dress designer who lied to Dr. Mengele in Auschwitz, saying she was an electrician, an occupation that both endangered and saved her life. In this memoir, she offers her intense and candid account of those years.Francis Waris the powerful testimony of one incredibly strong young woman who survived.
