Murray Pantirer Memorial Scholar Lecture
Tuesday, December 3, 2024
Drawing on the manuscript of Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg’s own unpublished memoir, supplemented with prodigious research, Elizabeth White and Kean University alumna Joanna Sliwa, professional historians and Holocaust experts, have uncovered the full story of this remarkable woman. They interweave Mehlberg’s sometimes harrowing personal testimony with broader historical narrative. Like The Light of Days, Schindler’s List, and Irena’s Children, The Counterfeit Countess is an unforgettable account of inspiring courage in the face of unspeakable cruelty.
