Description: In her lecture, Dr. Dekel will tell the story of her father and the odyssey from Poland to Iran at the core of his childhood - an experience which he never talked about, though it informed every aspect of his being. His wartime odyssey was also part of a larger chapter in the history of World War II, that of a quarter million Polish-Jewish refugees in Central Asia and the Middle East. The fact that most Polish Jews who survived the war had followed this path has been until now virtually unknown.
