Lois Silverstein, Ph.D. – When Crying Stops
Created from a combination of survivor testimony, research, and imagination, When Crying Stops tells a story about the Glattshteyns of Chernowitz, Romania, Meier, Golde, and Chane, how they were drawn into the war in the 1920s and 1930s and survived until today. It is rich with first-hand experience, historical perspectives, reflections on resilience and human endurance, and a thoughtful look at war, oppression, and loss.

It’s a family story of complicity — of how an educated, Christian man becomes a cog in the Nazi machine, which ravages his family and homeland while his wife and children bear the brunt of his choices.

Geschichtsabend zur 2. und 3. Welle der Frauenbewegung in Deutschland
June 26, 2009
We envision our Oral History Telling Evening as an interactive event. We will first talk about our own lives, experiences, and in what aspects they do (not) differ. Also, we are open to answering your questions and, of course, you are welcome to share your own experiences, thoughts, ideas and about similarities as well as differences between the women’s movements in Germany and the United States of America. Depending on participants’ preferences, our dialogue will be in German and/or in English.
