Discussion with Author Wendy Holden
Thursday, April 23, 2026 at 2:00 pm MST
Acclaimed author Wendy Holden tells the story of one man whose courage transformed children’s lives in history’s darkest hours. Under unimaginable conditions, teacher Fredy Hirsch risked his life to educate, protect, and guide the students in his care. He taught them poetry, theater, and pleaded with SS officers for rations.
In conversation with AZJHS’s Anthony Fusco, Holden will explore themes of resilience, moral clarity, and quiet heroism. Join us for a powerful discussion of this deeply researched story and its enduring relevance today.
