Lois Lowry

On Sunday, May 31, the Tennessee Holocaust Commission will host a keynote address with internationally recognized literary author, Lois Lowry. The evening address will focus on the inspiration behind Ms. Lowry’s award-winning novel, Number the Stars. This classic Young Adult novel continues to introduce scores of students to the Holocaust every year through the unforgettable characters of Annemarie and Ellen, the Danish resistance, and the importance of individual moral choice. Please join us as we hear firsthand the people and places that inspired the novel that is a consistent cornerstone for Middle School literature across Tennessee.

Following Ms. Lowry’s presentation, participants will have the opportunity to attend a book signing and enjoy a light reception. Parnassus Books will be on hand selling Ms. Lowry's books for the signing.
