Join us for an evening of extraordinary storytelling, treasure hunt and 20-years of investigation!  

On Wednesday, September 18 at 7:30 pm, we are thrilled to welcome Randi Biederman, co-author of “Schindler’s Listed”, who will provide an overview of the book and share the story of her late husband Mark’s journey to write it.  

“Schindler’s Listed” is the extraordinary story of Mark's twenty-year quest to find gold coins which his father's family buried in their backyard in Poland just prior to being deported by the Nazis into concentration camps. His father survived the war but died when the author was a teenager, leaving him only with the knowledge that he had buried coins somewhere in Poland, and no information about his family. During his quest, Biederman uncovers many interesting and disturbing facts about his father and mother and their families, such as the fact that his father was the third person on Oskar Schindler's list and had a chance meeting with Adolf Hitler, and that his mother was selected as a cook for the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele. The book details Mark's quest to unearth his family's past and his father's treasure and continues with his parent's amazing post-war years in Europe and their eventual arrival in North America. 

Randi has shared insights about the book and its creation across North America, and she's eager to discuss it in her latest chosen home.  This is a free event and no registration is required!
