SUMMARY:ā€œHalf-Jew\, Full Lifeā€ Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:ā€˜HALF-JEW\, FULL LIFEā€™ BOOK TALK: The Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion is promoting this virtual event. \nFrom Berlin to the Bronx\, from Holocaust survivor to American success story\, Georgette Bennettā€™s new book\, ā€œHalf-Jew\, Full Life\,ā€ traces the extraordinary life of Gary ā€œPipsā€ Phillips who defied the odds at every turn. With an Aryan mother and Jewish father\, Pips could have escaped much of the Holocaustā€™s horrors. Instead\, he made a fateful decision at age 13 to become a Bar Mitzvah just as the Nuremberg Laws were enacted\, effectively choosing to be labeled a Jew under Nazi rule. Pipsā€™ wartime experience is marked by daring escapes\, improbable rescues\, and survival while hiding deep within Nazi Berlin. Captured four times\, he escaped thrice\, choosing to remain in Nazi custody the fourth time as there was nowhere to run in bombed-out Berlin. At his place of confinement\, he met his future wife\, Olga Horvath\, who had been imprisoned after surviving Auschwitz and the Death March to Bergen Belsen. After their marriage in chaotic post-war Berlin\, they emigrated to the U.S. to start a new life. \nArriving in New York with nothing\, Pips rose from waiter to co-owner of the worldā€™s largest photo agency ā€” despite never owning a camera. Unlike Pips\, Olga was unable to escape the shadow of her Holocaust experiences\, and in a horrifying twist\, she threw herself off the roof of their gleaming luxury high-rise after more than 50 years of marriage\, leaving Pips grief-stricken\, but also able to reinvent himself one more time. This dramatic story brims with chance\, love\, loss\, resilience\, and reinvention\, culminating in a poignant exploration of Jewish identity\, memory\, and legacy. \nBennet will be in conversation with best-selling author Richard Walter. \nThis virtual event is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Register at https://mjhnyc.org/events/halfjewfulllife/
