Renia Spiegel's Legacy: In the Voices of Her Sister and Niece

Friday, October 10, 2025 11:30am to 12:30pm

Virtual Event

Event Details

Join us for a moving conversation with Elizabeth Bellak (Renia Spiegel's sister) and Alexandra Bellak (Renia's niece), as they reflect on the life and diary of Renia Spiegel, often called the “Polish Anne Frank.” Written during the German occupation of Poland, Renia’s Diary captures the hopes, fears, and resilience of a young girl whose voice was silenced during the Holocaust. Elizabeth and Alexandra will share intimate family memories, the story of the diary’s rediscovery and publication, and the ongoing responsibility of preserving Renia’s legacy for future generations.
