SUMMARY:Out of the Sky: Heroism and Rebirth in Nazi Europe
DESCRIPTION:In this special Talking Memory book launch for Out of the Sky\, author Matti Friedman will delve into the extraordinary story of the Jewish parachutists of 1944—young men and women who\, having escaped Europe\, made the fateful decision to return under a British mission into Nazi-occupied territory. Focusing on figures such as Hannah Senesh\, Friedman will explore the gap between the mission’s tragic reality and its powerful afterlife in Israeli memory. Drawing on years of archival research\, he will reflect on how these stories were shaped\, what defines heroism in the face of failure\, and the enduring role of narrative in constructing collective memory. \nFollowing Friedman’s discussion of his book\, Dr. Rochelle Saidel will focus on Haviva Reick (1914–1944)\, one of the three women among the Jewish parachutists sent from Mandatory Palestine to Europe during World War II. Operating in Slovakia during the Slovak National Uprising\, Reick worked to aid Allied airmen and rescue Jews. Captured and murdered by Nazi collaborators\, her story highlights the courage\, moral commitment\, and tragic fate of those who risked everything to save others. \nThe program will conclude with Shlomit Dagan\, Director of the Hannah Senesh House\, who will highlight the story of Hannah Senesh and reflect on the ongoing work of remembrance and education at the Hannah Senesh House. \n
