Meeting with an Author and Photographer Mikołaj Grynberg & Film Screening of “Proof of Identity”

October 5 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Acclaimed Polish author and photographer Mikołaj Grynberg will present his powerful work in an intimate evening featuring a screening of “Proof of Identity”, followed by a literary conversation featuring translator Sean Gasper Bye.

Grynberg is widely recognized for his deeply human portraits of Jewish life in postwar and contemporary Poland. His books, including “I’d Like to Say Sorry, But There’s No One to Say Sorry To” and “Confidential”, blend documentary, fiction, and oral history to explore memory, trauma, identity, and the legacy of the Holocaust. His work has been translated into multiple languages and continues to spark international dialogue about history, belonging, and reconciliation.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to engage with one of Poland’s most compelling contemporary voices.

COST: Suggested donation: $20.
