Carleton University’s Centre for Holocaust Education and Scholarship (CHES), at the Max and Tessie Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies, will host the event In Conversation with Jeanne Beker, organized in co-operation with the Azrieli Foundation.
This event will explore the many lives of Beker, a popular media personality, fashion maven, author and descendant of Holocaust survivors, in a conversation between Beker and Jody Spiegel, director of the Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program at the Azrieli Foundation.
When: Monday, June 11, 2018, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Where: Singhal family theatre, Richcraft Hall, Carleton University
Info: Tickets are $25 and are available online. Each guest will receive an autographed copy of Joy Runs Deeper.
Media are invited to attend the event.
Joy Runs Deeper is the Holocaust survival story of Beker’s parents, published by the Azrieli Foundation. Beker wrote the introduction to the memoir.
Beker says her parents’ Holocaust experiences coloured her personal philosophies, imparting a sense of resilience and a precious instinct for survival. She will share these insights with the audience, along with stories from her family’s memoir. The conversation will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
Toronto-based Beker was awarded the Order of Canada in 2014 and received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2016.
