Gloria Steinem moderates a discussion featuring co-editors of the groundbreaking book Sexual Violence against Jewish Women during the Holocaust, recently published by Brandeis University Press/University Press of New England. The program is one of several during March that mark the fourth anniversary of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. Dr. Sonja M. Hedgepeth and Dr. Rochelle G. Saidel will speak about the book and its genesis. Nava Semel, whose novel And the Rat Laughed is the subject of a chapter of the anthology, will discuss her fictional exploration of the issue of sexual abuse of women during the Holocaust. A book signing will follow the discussion.
