Michael Fryd humanizes the Holocaust through his memoir, My Mother’s War, telling the gripping story about his mother Evelyn, an indomitable woman who saved her family from the Nazis. 

Several films have been released this year to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII and liberation of the death camps. Recently, award-winning local, documentary filmmakers Jill Mernick Frechie and John Ricciutti filmed Michael Fryd, who delivers a most heartfelt telling of his family’s survival. After an award-winning career as a scientist, Fryd returned to his early passion, writing. The author will attend the film screening and his book will be available for purchase.
