Virtual Coffee Encounter - May 20
Featuring Ruth Stitt, Author of When The World Was Broken

Join us for a powerful Virtual Coffee Encounter with author Ruth Stitt, whose work brings history into deeply personal focus. Her book, When The World Was Broken, is a haunting and true Holocaust narrative based on real correspondence between her American grandmother and three Jewish cousins in Berlin from 1938 to 1942, capturing their growing desperation to escape Nazi Germany and the relentless, often heartbreaking efforts to save them.

A lifelong student of Scripture and a woman of wide-ranging experience, as a therapist, educator, musician, and minister, Ruth approaches this story with both historical care and moral clarity. Her work reflects a conviction that remembrance must lead to action, especially in a time when antisemitism is once again rising.

This conversation will explore not only the story itself, but the responsibility it places on us today, to recognize injustice, to respond with courage, and to ensure that these voices are never forgotten.

Join us as we continue the work of remembrance through stories that demand to be heard.

Wednesday, May 20 12pm (noon) CST
