On Thursday, November 14, 2024, acclaimed author Alice Hoffman will discuss her latest fiction, When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary (2024), with SAS instructor and literary scholar Anna Katsavos. Through extensive research and in cooperation with the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, the book imagines and recreates Anne Frank's life in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands during the years before she went into hiding. Hoffman imbues Frank, a young child, with wit, mischief, creativity, and wisdom beyond her age, foreshadowing the literary talent reflected in her now famous diary.


Time will be reserved for Q&A for those watching the live Zoom. If you are unable to attend, register for this amazing event to receive the recording for later viewing.
