Painting Resilience: The Life and Art of Fred Terna

“Living through the Holocaust was luck, but living with it takes skill,” says 97-year-old Holocaust survivor and still-active artist Fred Terna.

You are welcome to join with others to meet both the survivor Fred Terna and Julia Mayer, author of "Painting Resilience", a just-released full-length biography of Terna,  a personal, intergenerational exploration of the role Terna’s art plays before, during and after the Holocaust.

Mayer will do a brief reading, spotlight some of Terna’s paintings (many held by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Yad Vashem, the Albertina, and other institutions), share a fireside chat with Terna, and entertain questions from the audience.
