As a kick off to the Jewish Literary Festival we will host Jonathan Freedland, award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster (on zoom from the UK) as he speaks to Gus Silber (who will be with us) at the Nelson Mandela Auditorium at the Gardens Community Centre, on Thursday 24 April, 2025, at 6.30pm. Jonathan and Gus will discuss his book as well as being a journalist in the current whirlwind of world events.
Freedland writes a weekly column for The Guardian, hosts a contemporary history series on BBC, and co-hosts the Unholy podcast alongside Yonit Levi of Israel’s Channel 12 News. He is a past winner of an Orwell Prize for journalism and is the author of 12 books, the latest being The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World, which was hailed by Sir Antony Beevor as ‘an immediate classic of Holocaust literature’ and went on to become a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller.
