Finding Home (Hungary, 1945): The Little-Known Postwar Jewish Experience

Diversity and Inclusion, Performing Arts & Entertainment

September 12 | 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm  

Join us at the Yiddish Book Center for the Finding Home Reading Tour, a literary and performance experience featuring author Dean Cycon and Jewish music practitioners Bea Carlson (accordion/vocals) and Jason Ditzian (clarinet). This hour-long engagement takes audiences on a journey through several passages of Finding Home, Cycon’s debut novel, which explores the complex emotional, moral, and economic dynamics facing Jewish concentration camp survivors trying to return to their hometowns after liberation. Cycon will read these passages aloud with live klezmer and Hungarian folk music by Carlson and Ditzian. Following the performance there will be a book signing. This event is free to attend and will be presented at the Yiddish Book Center and streamed live via Zoom. Registration for the Zoom livestream is required. No registration is needed to attend this event in person at the Center.
