Most attention on the Holocaust rightfully focuses on the plight of Jews in concentration camps, but not all victims of Nazi persecution were put to death. Many survived, lost in a social and political limbo, shunned by friends, neighbors, and oftentimes family because of their "mixed" religious heritage. Join us as Dr. Cynthia Crane of the University of Cincinnati chronicles her journey and those of the women she interviewed for her book Divided Lives: The Untold Stories of Jewish Christian Women in Nazi Germany. Inspired by the experience of her paternal family, it tells the dramatic true stories of girls and women who endured persecution because of their mixed religious heritage.
