Exploring the Cultural Archive
On the 26th of September, the Berngau Library will be hosting a special reading event at Kultursprecher, celebrating its 40th anniversary. The focus of the event will be on the moving survival story "Ich war Eva Diamant".
"Ich war Eva Diamant" is a poignant account of Eva Diamant's sheltered childhood in a bourgeois Jewish family in Budapest, followed by her harrowing experiences during the Holocaust. At the tender age of twelve, Eva was liberated from Auschwitz by the Soviet army in January 1945.
The book, co-written by Eva Szepesi (née Diamant) and Stephanie Lunkewitz, offers a unique and personal insight into the Holocaust, making it a must-read for anyone seeking to understand this dark period in history. Eva Szepesi (née Diamant) is expected to be present at the reading event, making it an unforgettable opportunity to meet the author.
The reading event is free to attend and will start at 7 PM. It promises to be an evening of reflection, learning, and celebration, as the Berngau Library marks its 40th anniversary with a focus on an important and moving survival story.
So, join us on the 26th of September at Kultursprecher for an evening that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Let the story of Eva Diamant serve as a testament to the power of the human spirit and the enduring legacy of those who have faced unimaginable hardship.
