Remember Us The Holocaust Exhibit Speaker Series

 

Maria Jutasi Coleman is a Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor, psychotherapist, artist, and author. Born in Budapest in 1935, she and her mother escaped the Budapest ghetto in 1944, hiding in a mountain refuge until the end of World War II. After the war, they returned to Budapest, only to find that part of her family had perished in Auschwitz, while others were betrayed and executed by the Nazis. Her memoir, Revenge and Revolution: A Fictionalized Memoir, published in 2024, tells the story of Marika Junger, a young Hungarian Jewish girl who, after surviving the Holocaust, seeks vengeance against those responsible for her family's deaths. 

Part of the Remember Us The Holocaust (RUTH) Exhibit series of speakers.

The Remember Us The Holocaust (RUTH) Exhibit has been extended and will be on exhibit through June 28, 2026 on the Garth Family Reading Level of the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Annex at the La Jolla/Riford Library.
