SUMMARY:My Mother\, the Nazi Midwife and Me: Unpacking the Suitcase\, Exploring our Stories with Gina Roitman
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 31 October\, 18:00 \nThis talk will explore how at birth we are all handed a bag that someone else packed. We carry it without questions for a long time until about middle age\, at which point we have collected so much baggage of our own we begin wondering why this bag is so heavy. Why are we carrying it? If we’re lucky\, there’s someone left to ask about the contents. Author Gina Roitman will discuss her own stories and impulse to explore them\, including a discussion of the 2013 award-winning documentary of which she was the subject\, My Mother\, the Nazi Midwife and Me. \nThe author of the literary thriller\, Don’t Ask and the short story collection\, Tell Me a Story\, Tell Me the Truth\, Gina Roitman co-authored the biography Midway to China and Beyond\, as well as the memoirs of several child survivors of the Holocaust. Her essays and poems have appeared in anthologies and magazines including Poetica\, Wherever I Find Myself\, Moment\, the Forward and OftheBook Press.  \nIn 2013\, she was the subject of the award-winning documentary\, My Mother\, the Nazi Midwife and Me (available free on YouTube). Since 2017\, Gina has led continuous workshops on memoir writing for Generations After of Greater Washington\, DC and the Quebec Writers Federation.
