Join us for an intriguing conversation between Professor Michael Weingrad and special guest Ruth Franklin, literary critic and author of "A Thousand Darknesses: Lies and Truth in Holocaust Fiction." They will discuss aspects of Holocaust portrayal in fantasy literature and how writers have wrestled with the ethical and aesthetic challenges involved. There will be a question and answer period.
