Pages of the Past: The Politzer Saga

Join us for an extraordinary evening with author Linda Ambrus Broenniman as she unravels the incredible true story that literally rose from the ashes! When Linda's home caught fire, she discovered a mysterious box of letters that would lead her down a path of discovery she never imagined – uncovering her hidden Jewish heritage and the remarkable story of her ancestors.

In this captivating story, Linda reveals how her Catholic mother secretly collaborated with her Jewish best friend during WWII, saving lives from Nazi persecution – including the man who would later become Linda's father! This isn't just history – it's a detective story, a family drama, and a testament to human resilience all wrapped into one unforgettable narrative.
