Join us for this international book launch with acclaimed author Douglas Century — a powerful and revealing evening as he presents a new portrait of Hannah Senesh, the heroic poet, paratrooper, and resistance fighter remembered as a beacon of hope during the Holocaust.
Drawing from newly uncovered materials — including never-before-seen photographs, previously unknown poetry, and original song lyrics — Century will introduce a side of Senesh that few have known. Through meticulous research and exclusive archival discoveries, he brings to light a richer, more complex understanding of this iconic figure.
Featuring a tribute through song – beloved pieces inspired by the poetry of Hannah Senesh plus newly discovered work performed by Cantor David Rosen & Tal Katz and a question period moderated by Cynthia Good.
