This month, we’ll be guiding you through a winter time embroidery project and a crochet slipper sock pattern.
Wondering why we added “dreaded” to our program name? Well, it’s not because we’re going to make this an awfully confusing experience, so don’t fear!

Central
***Registration is required to attend online***
The Spanish conquest of the Americas that began with the Caribbean in 1492 has long overshadowed the fact that Jews were expelled from Spain that same year as the culmination of centuries-long persecution during the Reconquista against Moors, pogroms, and Inquisition.
While this Sephardic Jewish history is less visible in the public imagination, their history nonetheless takes on greater significance in the present as we are reminded of the Holocaust from survivors and scholars as hatred and persecution of the “other” remains.
Join us as Dr. Francis X. Galán, Ph.D. professor of History at Texas A&M University-San Antonio, discusses the path of the Sephardim in the New World.

The Shelter and the Fence: When 982 Holocaust Refugees Found Safe Haven in America
San Antonio Public Library Online
***Registration is required***
Join us for a conversation with Norman H Finkelstein, author of The Shelter and the Fence.
In 1944, at the height of World War II, 982 European refugees found a temporary haven at Fort Ontario in Oswego, New York. They were men, women, and children who had spent frightening years one step ahead of Nazi pursuers and death. They spoke nineteen different languages, and, while most of the refugees were Jewish, a number were Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. From the time they arrived at the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter on August 5 they began re-creating their lives and embarked on the road to becoming American citizens. In the history of World War II and the Holocaust, this "token" save by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the War Refugee Board was too little and too late for millions. But for those few who reached Oswego it was life changing. The Shelter and the Fence tells their stories.

Landa
***Registration is required to attend online***
The Spanish conquest of the Americas that began with the Caribbean in 1492 has long overshadowed the fact that Jews were expelled from Spain that same year as the culmination of centuries-long persecution during the Reconquista against Moors, pogroms, and Inquisition.
While this Sephardic Jewish history is less visible in the public imagination, their history nonetheless takes on greater significance in the present as we are reminded of the Holocaust from survivors and scholars as hatred and persecution of the “other” remains.
Join us as Dr. Francis X. Galán, Ph.D. professor of History at Texas A&M University-San Antonio, discusses the path of the Sephardim in the New World.
Branch Location: Landa Library. Event Type(s): Presentation & Lecture. Staff Contact Name: Sylvia Reyna. Staff Contact Number/Email: sylvia.reyna@sanantoino.gov.

Café Con Libros: On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
Potranco
"On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born -- a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam -- and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity."
Café Con Libros meets both in-person at Potranco Branch Library and virtually.
Registration is required ONLY IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND VIRTUALLY.
A Zoom link will be emailed to you.

Potranco Book Club: Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang
Potranco
In Chinese the word for the United States, Mei Guo, translates directly to "beautiful country." When seven-year-old Qian is plucked from her warm and happy childhood surrounded by extended family in China, she finds a world of crushing fear and poverty instead. For five years she lived undocumented after immigrating with her parents to New York City. Shocked at where her family fits in comparison to their status as educated elites in China, she works shifts alongside her mother in Chinatown sweatshops. Unable to speak English, isolated and disregarded, Qian put into special education classes and humiliated by teachers and classmates when she struggles to pay attention because of hunger or exhaustion. Her memoir illuminates the cruelty and indignity of America's immigration system, and the cost of making a home in a hostile land.

San Antonio Public Library Online
Hear the experiences of immigrating to escape the Holocaust and adjusting to life in a foreign land from the son of a Holocaust survivor. Fritz Ottenheimer was born in 1925 in Germany. When Hitler came to power in 1933, Fritz and his family were forced to endure anti-Jewish persecution. In 1938, Fritz witnessed his father’s arrest and deportation to Dachau Concentration Camp, on what is now called Kristallnacht. After his father’s release, Fritz and his family immigrated to the United States. In 1944, Fritz volunteered to become a member of the U.S. Army and was deployed to Germany. Before Fritz passed away in 2017, he shared his experiences with his son Dan who continues to tell Fritz’s stories of about growing up as a Jewish child in Nazi Germany, immigrating to the US, and his return to Germany as a solider in the US Army.
