• Helping us make our way 'through a world that can feel broken' (harvard.edu) — A renowned fairy-tale scholar reflects on arriving as a World War II refugee family sponsored by a church in Highland Park and growing up as one of the town's only immigrant families. She recalls living in a donated mansion, discovering Grimms' tales in its attic, and finding a second home at the Highland Park Public Library, experiences that shaped her lifelong work on folklore, storytelling, and cultural memory. Her story connects local spaces to a global career in literature and myth.
