SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Program
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL PROGRAM\nWith Author Jonathan Freedland\, The Escape Artist\nModerated by Rita Benn\n12:00 PM over Zoom\nIn April 1944\, Rudolf Vrba became one of the very first Jews to escape from Auschwitz and make his way to freedom—among only a tiny handful who ever pulled off that near-impossible feat. He did it to reveal the truth of the death camp to the world—and to warn the last Jews of Europe what fate awaited them. Against all odds\, Vrba and his fellow escapee\, Fred Wetzler\, climbed mountains\, crossed rivers\, and narrowly missed German bullets until they had smuggled out the first full account of Auschwitz the world had ever seen—a forensically detailed report that eventually reached Franklin Roosevelt\, Winston Churchill\, and the Pope. \nAnd yet too few heeded the warning that Vrba had risked everything to deliver. Though Vrba helped save two hundred thousand Jewish lives\, he never stopped believing it could have been so many more. \nThis is the story of a brilliant yet troubled man—a gifted “escape artist” who\, even as a teenager\, understood that the difference between truth and lies can be the difference between life and death. Rudolf Vrba deserves to take his place alongside Anne Frank\, Oskar Schindler\, and Primo Levi as one of the handful of individuals whose stories define our understanding of the Holocaust. \n \nJonathan Freed­land is a colum­nist for The Guardian in Lon­don. He presents BBC Radio 4’s con­tem­po­rary his­to­ry series\, The Long View\, as well as two pod­casts\, Pol­i­tics Week­ly Amer­i­ca for The Guardian and Unholy\, along­side the Israeli jour­nal­ist Yonit Levi. He is a past win­ner of an Orwell Prize for jour­nal­ism and has writ­ten 12 books includ­ing nine thrillers\, most­ly as Sam Bourne. The Escape Artist is a 2023 Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award Win­ner for Biog­ra­phy and Holocaust. \n

SUMMARY:Ann Arbor Jewish Book Festival Program
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL PROGRAM\nWith Author Andrew Lawler\, Under Jerusalem\nModerated by Yaron Eliav\, Associate Professor of Rabbinic Literature and Jewish History of Late Antiquity\, University of Michigan\n7:00 PM over Zoom\nIn 1863\, a French senator arrived in Jerusalem hoping to unearth relics dating to biblical times. Digging deep underground\, he discovered an ancient grave that\, he claimed\, belonged to an Old Testament queen. News of his find ricocheted around the world\, evoking awe and envy alike\, and inspiring others to explore Jerusalem’s storied past. \nIn the century and a half since the Frenchman broke ground\, Jerusalem has drawn a global cast of fortune seekers and missionaries\, archaeologists and zealots\, all of them eager to extract the biblical past from beneath the city’s streets and shrines. Their efforts have had profound effects\, not only on our understanding of Jerusalem’s history\, but on its hotly disputed present. The quest to retrieve ancient Jewish heritage has sparked bloody riots and thwarted international peace agreements.  It has served as a cudgel\, a way to stake a claim to the most contested city on the planet.  Today\, the earth below Jerusalem remains a battleground in the struggle to control the city above. \nUnder Jerusalem takes readers into the tombs\, tunnels\, and trenches of the Holy City. It brings to life the indelible characters who have investigated this subterranean landscape. With clarity and verve\, acclaimed journalist Andrew Lawler reveals how their pursuit has not only defined the conflict over modern Jerusalem\, but could provide a map for two peoples and three faiths to peacefully coexist. \nAndrew Lawler is author of three books\, Under Jerusalem: The Buried History of the World’s Most Contested City\, The Secret Token: Myth\, Obsession\, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke\, a national bestseller\, and Why Did the Chicken Cross the World?: The Epic Saga of the Bird that Powers Civilization. As a journalist\, he has written more than a thousand newspaper and magazine articles from more than two dozen countries. His byline has appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, National Geographic\, Smithsonian\, and many others. He is contributing writer for Science and contributing editor for Archaeology. Andrew’s work has appeared several times in The Best of Science and Nature Writing.
