The young author of Stories of Moral Courage in the Face of Evil, who was 12 years old when she started the project for her bat mitzvah, will be speaking, selling and signing her book from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the HEB multipurpose room in the Laredo Public Library on September 11.
She will also speak at the Laredo Civic Center at 7:00 PM before Gerda Weissmann Klein's speech.
This is a great way for the younger community to connect to the Holocaust and Klein's message of tolerance. Siegel's book profiles non-Jews who heroically gave aid during World War II. The proceeds benefit those non-Jews.
If there are classes interested in seeing Miss Siegel speak at the library, please contact the library in advance as there is limited seating.
Contact Maria at the library: (956) 795-2400, extension 2225.
