Anne Berest, THE POSTCARD

Guest host Julie Chavez engages in a heartfelt conversation with author Anne Berest about her intimate and engrossing new book, THE POSTCARD. Anne shares the emotional story of her Jewish family's past, which she slowly uncovered after receiving an anonymous postcard from WWII. She describes what it was like to unwind a mystery leading back to the Holocaust with the help of her mother, her friends, detectives, and graphologists! Her insights reveal the profound impact of exploring one's heritage while dancing delicately between past horrors and a hopeful path forward.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3QimyevShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
