“Arriving in America in 1947, 12 year-old Gustawa Singer carried the heaviness of the three-year wartime separation from her father. Desperate to piece together their stolen years, he sat her down and meticulously transcribed her memories in a seven-page handwritten record. They never spoke about their collective torture again. Hidden in a basement for 35 years, this forgotten testimony became the blueprint for Singer Applefield’s journey of self-discovery.” From janetapplefield.com

Working with the non-profit, Facing History and Ourselves, and the
Massachusetts Cultural Council, she has spoken at hundreds of venues on
her experiences as a child hidden during the Holocaust and the importance
of standing up to bigotry and hate.

Janet Applefield will be at the Malden Public Library Monday September 23rd 6-7pm to discuss her book Becoming Janet. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Registration not required  but requested.
