WRS Presents Local Author Catherine Ehrlich
Monday, March 14
6:00PM - 7:00pm
Join us for this virtual event with local author Catherine Ehrlich, who will speak about her book
Irma's Passport: One Woman, Two World Wars, and a Legacy of Courage.
Following clues from her grandmother Irma's extraordinary memories, Catherine Ehrlich explores her outspoken Austrian grandparents’ influential lives at the crossroads of German and Jewish national movements. This cross-generational journey tracks a secret behind Irma’s escape from Vienna, joins paths with famous activists in Vienna, London, and the US, and reveals a deep heritage of empowered women. Part intimate personal memoir, part historical drama, this true story illuminates history we once thought we knew and leaves us with newfound respect for the bracing power of pride.
