MARION SEIDEMANN FREDMAN: A TIME TO HID
About this Event
She will be in conversation with Illustrator Diane Dove.
A Time to Hide captures a powerful true story of Holocaust survival, told through personal testimony, historical photographs, and evocative new illustrations.
When Grete and Julius fled Nazi Germany, they never imagined they’d be forced into hiding in a Dutch attic. While in hiding, their daughter Marion was born—a moment of light amid the darkest of times. Years later, Marion Seidemann Fredman shares her family’s courageous story of love, loss, and resilience in this visually rich, nonfiction picture book.
A Time to Hide is a vital Holocaust story that honors memory, teaches history, and helps ensure the next generation understands and remembers this powerful legacy of survival.
"Pair this skillfully crafted book with . . . other Anne Frank resources to expand the context of the Holocaust experience. "— Booklist, starred review
"A Time to Hide is a gripping, unique, and beautiful graphic memoir that recounts one family's story of escape and survival during the Holocaust through photos and illustrations. This story does something incredible, which is to shine a light on the terror so many Jewish people endured, but also the sacrifice of others who risked their safety to protect others, and the indomitable spirit of a people to start anew after losing everything. I cried tears of sadness and joy."— Brooke Warner, Publisher and Author
