Medical anthropologist Barbara Rylko-Bauer will discuss her book A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps. The book details her mother's experience after she was arrested in 1944 for suspicion of resistance activities. For 15 months she endured three Nazi concentration camps and a 42-day death march, spending part of the time working as a prisoner-doctor to Jewish slave laborers. Jadzia's struggle continued after the war as she attempted to rebuild her life, first as a refugee doctor in Germany and later as an immigrant to the United States. A book signing will follow the presentation.
