Madeleine Albright
(continued from page 10) Albright learned she was of Jewish ancestry and that many of her relatives had died in the Holocaust. In “Prague Winter,” she explores and honors her Jewish heritage in a blend of memoir and historical fact revealing a story of loss and discovery. “I had no idea that my family heritage was Jewish or that more than 20 of my relatives had died in the Holocaust,” she wrote. “I had been brought up to believe in a history of my Czechoslovak homeland that was less tangled and more straightforward than the reality.” This special event is sponsored by Bookends/ Ridgewood for the benefit of the Don Bosco Prep Alumni Association. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students. The ticket price includes one paperback copy of “Prague Winter.” Seating at Don Bosco Prep’s De Sales Hall Auditorium at 492 North Franklin Turnpike Ramsey is general admission. The doors will open at 5 p.m. with the program to begin at 7 p.m. For tickets, contact the Don Bosco Prep Advancement Office at alumni@donboscoprep.org or (201) 327-2049.
