Join LILRC for a moving author conversation with Dr. Janet Bond Brill, author of Little Edna’s War, the extraordinary true story of Edna Szurek, a Jewish child who survived Nazi-occupied Warsaw, smuggled food into the Warsaw Ghetto, joined the Polish resistance, and became one of the youngest decorated soldiers of the Polish Home Army. This conversation will explore Holocaust memory, child resistance, survivor testimony, hidden identity, and the role libraries and educators play in preserving firsthand stories for future generations.

Dr. Janet Bond Brill holds a Ph.D. in Exercise Science from the University of Miami, along with two master’s degrees, one in Exercise Science from the University of Miami and another in Nutrition Science from Florida International University. She is the author of four nationally recognized health books, as well as numerous scientific papers and articles for lay publications. Dr. Brill lives in Pennsylvania with her husband Sam, Edna’s son. Together they have three children, Rachel, Mia, and Jason, and two grandchildren who carry forward their great-grandmother’s legacy.
