On March 23 at 7 PM, ET, Alexandra Garbarini, , professor of history and Jewish studies at Williams College, will discuss “A Terrible and Terribly Interesting Epoch”

The Holocaust Diary of Lucien Dreyfus, published last year by Rowman & Littlefield. Dr. Garbarini co-edited the diary with Jean-Marc Dreyfus, reader in Holocaust Studies at the University of Manchester and associate researcher at the Centre of History, Sciences-Po Paris. Alexandra Garbarini will be in conversation about the book with Colleen Tambuscio, a special and general education teacher at New Milford High School (New Jersey) and president of the Council of Holocaust Educators.  The program will take place under the auspices of The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and will be delivered remotely via Webex. All wishing to attend may register here.

The extraordinary wartime diary of Lucien Dreyfus provides a rare glimpse into the daily life of French and foreign-born Jewish refugees under the Vichy regime during World War II. Long hidden, the diary was written by Lucien Dreyfus, a native of Alsace who was a teacher at the most prestigious high school in Strasbourg and the editor of the leading Jewish newspaper of Alsace and Lorraine.
