Description

Please join the Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights for a special book talk featuring acclaimed author Anne Hand, discussing her memoir Austrian Again.

The program will be moderated by Evelyn Konrad ’05, a Cardozo alumna and Holocaust survivor, who will join the conversation and share her personal reflections.

In this captivating and deeply personal work, Hand sets out to uncover her family’s long-hidden history during the Holocaust while pursuing Austrian citizenship. As Austria opens the door to restored citizenship for descendants of those victimized by the Nazi and Austrofascist regimes, Anne digs through fragments of family stories and documents to trace her Austrian and Czechoslovakian roots. Through her search, she pieces together the story her ancestors withheld from their children after World War II, while reflecting on identity, migration, and heritage.

This bestselling memoir stands out as a unique and contemporary story, offering a fresh perspective on historical reparations and the ongoing quest for identity in a rapidly changing world. Join us for a conversation with the author, moderated by Evelyn Konrad, followed by a book signing.
