SUMMARY:Jewish Book Series: Milena and Margarete with Gwen Strauss
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the JCC on **Tuesday\, April 7** from **5-6:30 PM** for an\nin-person visit from Gwen Strauss\, author of _Milena and Margarete: A Love\nStory in Ravensbrück._ \n**_Book Blurb_** \nFrom the moment they met in 1940 in Ravensbrück concentration camp\, Milena\nJesenska and Margarete Buber-Neumann were inseparable. Czech Milena was\nKafka’s first translator and epistolary lover\, and a journalist opposed to\nfascism. A non-conformist\, bi-sexual feminist\, she was way ahead of her time.\nWith the German occupation of Czechoslovakia\, her home became a central\nmeeting place for Jewish refugees. German Margarete\, born to a middle-class\nfamily\, married the son of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber. But soon swept\nup in the fervor of the Bolshevik Revolution\, she met her second partner\, the\nCommunist Heinz Neumann. Called to Moscow for his “political deviations\,” he\nfell victim to Stalin’s purges while Margarete was exiled to the hell of the\nSoviet gulag. Two years later\, traded by Stalin to Hitler\, she ended up\noutside Berlin in Ravensbrück\, the only concentration camp built for women. \nMilena and Margarete loved each other at the risk of their lives. But in the\npost-war survivors’ accounts\, lesbians were stigmatized\, and survivors kept\nsilent. This book explores those silences\, and finally celebrates two strong\nwomen who never gave up and continue to inspire. As Margaret wrote: “I was\nthankful for having been sent to Ravensbrück\, because it was there I met\nMilena.” \n _JCC community events and programs are open to all regardless of faith or\nbackground. All are welcome._ \nOrganized by: JCC of Greater Ann Arbor \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/14347
