Synopsis

When the global pandemic hit Melbourne in March 2020, Frances Prince resolved to spend her afternoons in lockdown reading to David, her 95-year-old father. The books they explored together revived David's memories of his own Holocaust experiences and his life as a Polish Jewish university student in post-war Munich. As the days passed, what began as a reading project to fill the time, turned into an unexpected and rewarding journey of discovery.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Frances Prince is an educator with lifelong expertise in Jewish studies and leadership in Victoria's interfaith community. After graduating from university, she began her teaching career in 1981. Three years later, Frances and her husband Steven moved to the US where she completed an MA in Hebrew culture and education at NYU. After returning to Melbourne, she worked at Mount Scopus Memorial College for nearly three decades, teaching Jewish studies, writing curriculum and developing interfaith programs. In 2011 she received the National Council of Jewish Women's Sylvia Gelman Award for 'Outstanding Woman Educator in the Area of Jewish Studies'. Frances' passion for Jewish education has led to significant voluntary endeavours including co-founding March of the Living, Australia, an annual educational program that brings students to Poland to learn about the Holocaust. Since 2014, she has been an executive member of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria (JCCV) where she holds the multicultural and interfaith portfolio. In this capacity, she represents the Jewish community on the Jewish Christian Muslim Association (JCMA) board and serves as co-vice president of the Faith Communities Council of Victoria (FCCV) board. Frances is also vice president of the Australian Jewish Historical Society (AJHS) Victoria and serves on the committee of the annual Lodz ghetto commemoration.
