Meet Author Karen Baum Gordon and Musician Jason Feddy in Laguna Beach!

Karen is the daughter of Rudolf Baum, a Holocaust survivor whose thwarted efforts to save his parents had multigenerational effects. The Last Letter: A Father’s Struggle, a Daughter’s Quest, and the Long Shadow of the Holocaust focuses on the story of Karen’s father and the long shadow of the Holocaust that took the lives of her grandparents and irrevocably altered her father’s life and her own. Based on archival documents, correspondence and photos, the book is about relationships, forgiveness, and the perseverance to learn more about a loved one's story. This event commemorates Kristallnacht, Night of Broken Glass, ensuring that history’s lessons are not forgotten.

Our beloved local musician, Jason Feddy, will open and close the event.

Light snacks and drinks along with free parking are included.

Copies of the book are available for purchase at Laguna Beach Books now!!! Books will be available for signing at the event.
