AUTHOR VISIT: JOANNA SLIWA, THE COUNTERFEIT COUNTESS

Event Description

Author Joanna Sliwa will talk about the remarkable and inspiring true story of Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg—a Jewish mathematician who saved thousands of lives in Nazi-occupied Poland by masquerading as a Polish aristocrat.

This event is presented in partnership with the Holocaust Resource Center of Kean University and is part of a series called What We Learned from the Holocaust: Save One Life, Save the World. This series was made possible by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
