Join us at our Beachwood Branch for a conversation with Linda Broenniman, author of "The Politzer Saga."Register: https://attend.cuyahogalibrary.org/event/10758588
Broenniman grew up in Buffalo, New York. She is the middle child of seven born to Hungarian physicians who survived World War II and started their new life in the U.S. in 1949. She graduated from Swarthmore College with a BA in psychology and went on to get an MBA from Carnegie Mellon. Several years after graduation, she left mainstream corporate America to follow her path as an entrepreneur. She let her passion for uncovering hidden potential in unexpected places guide her. And she allowed this passion to fuel the search for her hidden family.
In "The Politzer Saga," Broenniman’s search for truth becomes a remarkable epic – part memoir, part biography, part history – that illuminates the Hungarian Jewish experience over the last 300 years.
She finds her family: doctors, lawyers, bankers, entrepreneurs, writers, musicians, art collectors, and philanthropists. And learns of their resilience in surviving religious persecution, wars, epidemics, and economic upheavals.
By telling their stories, she could honor the memories of her lost family. And she learns how finding your roots helps anchor your own place in the world.
