SUNDAY MORNING SEMINAR FEATURING AUTHOR MARGARET MCMULLAN - WHERE THE ANGELS LIVED


Co-Sponsored by Brotherhood and Adult Education
9:00am Breakfast and 10:00am Presentation
Sunday, September 22, 2019
Speakers: Margaret McMullan

This amazing read opens with moments of discovery. The moment she discovers the existence of Richard, a long-lost relative, at Israel’s Holocaust Museum, Margaret McMullan begins an unexpected journey of revelation and connectivity as she tirelessly researches the history of her ancestors, the Engel de Jánosis. Propelled by a Fulbright cultural exchange that sends her to teach at a Hungarian University, Margaret, her husband, and teenage son all eagerly travel to Pécs, the land of her mother’s Jewish lineage. After reaching Pécs, a Hungarian town both small and primarily Christian, Margaret realizes right then and there how difficult her mission is going to be. This fascinating author and her story will be at TBI for discussion and a reading.
