About the Webinar
Renowned author Gordon Korman and Rachelle Goldstein of the Hidden Child Foundation delved into the role of storytelling in understanding antisemitism—past and present. Gordon Korman, author of over 100 books for children and young adults, read from Linked, his middle-grade (ages 8–12) novel. Linked follows the story of a middle school rocked by the appearance of swastikas— and the students’ efforts to turn division into unity through a school project. Rachelle Goldstein, a hidden child during the Holocaust, shared excerpts from the narratives of the youngest Holocaust survivors, bringing to light the resilience found in their stories. These narratives connect in surprising and meaningful ways, illuminating the power of storytelling to confront hate and foster understanding.
