Mayer speaks at the First Narayever Congregation in Toronto, September 14, 2008

Join us as Mayer Kirshenblatt draws from his award-winning book They Called Me Mayer July: Painted Memories of a Jewish Childhood in Poland before the Holocaust. Since teaching himself to paint almost 20 years ago, Mayer has made it his mission to remember the world of his childhood in living colour - "lest future generations know more about how Jews died than how they lived." Mayer will share some of his humorous and refreshingly candid stories as well as slides of his beautiful folk art paintings recording life in Apt, Poland in the 1920s and 30s.
