Moderator: Rebecca Erbelding (Historian, educator, curator, and archivist at the <\/em>United States Holocaust Memorial Museum<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlie Scheidt was born in New York City to parents who had escaped Nazi-occupied Europe. Growing up in a close-knit, German-Jewish refugee community, Charlie witnessed firsthand the traumatic effects of persecution and exile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kat Rohrer was born in Vienna, Austria and is an award-winning filmmaker, who has produced, written, and directed numerous narrative films and documentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his mother\u2019s death, Charlie Scheidt discovered a trove of historic documents that set him on a decade-long journey to uncover his family\u2019s hidden past during the Holocaust. Joined by Kat Rohrer, the granddaughter of a Nazi officer, Charlie and Kat embarked on a quest to trace Charlie\u2019s family\u2019s harrowing efforts to escape from Nazi-occupied Europe. As they investigated, they uncovered stories of survival and loss. Their journey takes them across generations and continents, revealing a legacy of love, loss, and resilience. Grappling with questions about the long-lasting effects of inherited trauma, the book asks whether it is possible to break free of a familial cycle. Inheritance: Love, Loss, and the Legacy of the Holocaust, rooted in his family\u2019s escape and the lasting trauma that followed, is a powerful reflection on history\u2019s enduring scars, the importance of remembrance, and healing across generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
