Local author Helena Lipstadt will discuss her new book, Our Dark and Radiant Land at the library on Wednesday, September 13 at 7 p.m.

After the Holocaust, Helena Lipstadt’s survivor parents fled Poland vowing never to return. Decades later, walking on the city streets where her parents played as children, Helena begins to comprehend the interwoven culture of Jews and Poles. She honors her family’s layered history as she seeks and builds connections with the Polish people she meets. 

Lipstadt was born in Berlin, Germany and now lives in Los Angeles, California and Blue Hill, Maine.
