What Shall I Read? and Other Stories
Cornelia Cotton will read some selections from her second book, What Shall I Read? and Other Stories, recounting her experiences growing up in Germany during the rise of Nazism in the last years of Weimar Republic and emigrating to the United States. These memories are stitched together in moving observances, revealing the experiences that made her who she is today. Some recall small moments that were life changing, and others reveal the enormity of events during the war. A long-time Croton resident, Cornelia has also written They Lived in Croton—An Archive of Croton’s Visual Artists; Stepping Stones, an autobiography; and has given talks on the history of Mount Airy and the Old Croton Aqueduct.
Free events sponsored by Croton Friends of History. Visit their website for details on topics & speakers.
