Marion Blumental Lazan

21 October 2010

       This week, instead of having class, we were required to go to Corey Union function room to hear Holocaust Survivor Marion Blumenthal Lazan speak. I thought this was an awesome opportunity because I had never had the opportunity to hear a Holocaust survivor speak. Although I thought it was really awesome to be able to hear her speak, she hardly ventured from the stories that she tells in her memoior: Four Perfect Pebbles. I was anxious to come and hear the un-told stories, but it was quickly made clear that she had already told her entire story in the book. I think it's pretty cool that she was so honest in the book, but I think she should have left some to be told in person. Maybe that is just a personal opinion.
