About the event
Acclaimed Polish author and photographer Mikołaj Grynberg will present his powerful work in an intimate evening featuring a film screening of Proof of Identity, followed by a literary conversation moderated by photographer David Sherman and featuring translator Sean Gasper Bye.
Grynberg is renowned for his deeply human portraits of Jewish life in postwar and contemporary Poland. His books, including I’d Like to Say Sorry, But There’s No One to Say Sorry To and Confidential, blend documentary, fiction, and oral history to explore memory, trauma, identity, and the legacy of the Holocaust. Translated into multiple languages, his work continues to spark international dialogue about history, belonging, and reconciliation.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to engage with one of Poland’s most compelling contemporary voices.
Suggested donation: $20
