Speakers: Jaana Johansson, David Lawson

Journalist Jaana Johansson tells the remarkable tale of her friend Josef Salomonovic (Pepek) who entrusted her with his true story – a story of deportation from his hometown of Ostrava, in Moravia, when he was only three years old, to surviving the Lodz Ghetto and Auschwitz, and his life in post war Czechoslovakia, as Jaana confronts her own feelings through writing his life story towards the Europe she once loved. Jaana is joined by David Lawson, co-author of Ostrava and its Jews, a beautify-written chronicle of a thriving pre-war community.
