Willesden READS Education Event Coming to New England

March 29, 2022 @ 10:00 pm

Join acclaimed pianist and author Mona Golabek for a 50-minute livestreamed performance adapted from her best-selling book, The Children of Willesden Lane.

This special theatrical and musical Willesden READS event gives New England students and educators the opportunity to interact with Mona as she brings to life the inspiring story of her mother, Lisa Jura, a young Holocaust survivor who in 1938 escaped from Vienna to London on the Kindertransport.

More than one million students around the world have experienced the Willesden READS program to date.

Thanks to our local sponsors for making this program possible: The Weiner Foundation (Roberta and Stephen R. Weiner, Melissa Weiner Janfaza and Andrew Janfaza, Rita and Adam J. Weiner), The Birmingham Foundation, Fran Birmingham – in memory of Robert Birmingham.
