March Author Presentation

March 5 at 7:00 p.m. in the library's Community Room:

The Book Club for Adults welcomes everyone to a talk by Diet Eman, author of our March reading selection, Things We Couldn't Say. Her presentation does not require reading the book and books will be available for purchase and author signing at the program.

Diet Eman grew up in Holland, turning 18 in 1940 just as the Germans occupied her country. Living in The Hague, Diet was working in a bank and wanting to help her countrymen and women but fearful of approaching neighbors who were submitting to the German rule. Eventually, she is connected to the underground resistance movements and has successes and much suffering as she lives her conscience in a world gone mad.

Her presentation will educate us, challenge us and ultimately reward us as we come to understand war and resistance in very personal ways.
