Description was written before the event

What does it mean to come to terms with a family legacy marked by the Holocaust? What is it like to grow up in the shadow of a complicated mother? These are the questions addressed in Ann M. Altman's book "Imperfect Memories, or How I Forgave My Mother," whose launch takes place at the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes in Brno.

About the venue: Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes Brno

The Institut Paměti národa (Memory of Nations Institute) Brno has been located since autumn 2021 in a Renaissance building on Radnická 10, next to the Old Town Hall. It hosts the multimedia exhibition Silent Heroism (opened 2023), which uses augmented reality, panoramic projections and interactive screens to tell the stories of heroes from World War II and the communist era. The institute organises lectures, debates, exhibitions and screenings, and is part of the Memory of Nations project – one of the largest oral history collections in Central Europe. The ground floor houses the Memory of Nations Café.
