'Among The Living' Explores Jewish Perseverance In Savannah
Primary Content
The Holocaust displaced millions of Jews in the 1940s. Many survivors were left to find new homes and rebuild their lives on foreign shores. One of those places of refuge was Savannah, Georgia. Author Jonathan Rabb explores this difficult transition in his new novel, “Among The Living.” In the book, set in 1947, concentration camp survivor Yitzhak Golden travels to Savannah and must deal with complex divisions within the Jewish community there.
Rabb joins us to talk about the real history that inspired his novel. He will give a lecture at the Atlanta History Center tonight at 7 pm.
