The daughter of a Holocaust survivor embarks on an international quest to uncover answers about the plight of seven siblings who escaped Nazi Germany relying on their youthful bravado and the kindness of strangers.
How do good people lose their minds in soul-crushing conflicts with co-workers, neighbors, grown siblings or even national politicians they’ve never met? In her book High Conflict, through the stories of half a dozen conflict survivors in three countries, journalist Amanda Ripley reveals how humans can help one another break out of destructive feuds–and generate healthy, useful conflict instead. Amanda Ripley is a New York Times bestselling author, a Washington Post contributing columnist, and the co-founder of Good Conflict, a media and training company that helps people reimagine conflict. Join us for a "fireside chat" with Ms. Ripley that is sure to be enlightening and fascinating and a delicious Latino dinner catered by Boston's Merengue Restaurant. Read more about Amanda Ripley here. Soft drinks will be provided but you are welcome to bring your own beverage as well. The $25 per person cost of this event includes a full dinner and the speaker. We strongly encourage any individual who would like to attend but finds the cost prohibitive to please email info@hinghamunity.org for a confidential, complimentary ticket.
