Long-time Jocotepec resident Phyllis Rauch, who assisted her late husband Georg in penning his memoir “The Jew with the Iron Cross: A Record of Survival in WWII Russia,” has been invited to participate in the panel discussion entitled Historic Memory of the Holocaust, a collateral event tied into Guadalajara’s International Book Fair. The program will be held on December 4, 4:30 p.m. at the Juan Jose Arreola State Library.
Earlier this month Rauch received news that the book has been picked up by the New York publishing house Farrar, Straus & Giroux, to be released in hardback and paperback editions under a new title: “The Unlikely Warrior.”
