A Journalist’s Bold Investigation Into Her Family’s Past
Hosted By: The New York Jewish Week
Join the New York Jewish Week in partnership with UJA-Federation New York for the next event in our Folio literary series: a conversation with British historical researcher, journalist and author, Rosie Whitehouse and Andrew Silow-Carroll, Editor at Large, 70 Faces Media.
Two Sisters tells the gripping story of Marion and Huguette Müller, who fled Nazi-occupied France after their mother was deported to Auschwitz. Rescued by Dr. Frédéric Pétri, their journey is a testament to the courage of individuals who risked everything to protect Jewish lives. Rosie Whitehouse blends historical research and personal narrative to explore themes of resistance, complicity, and the lasting legacy of antisemitism.
Rosie Whitehouse is a journalist specializing in Jewish life after the Holocaust. She writes for BBC Online, the Observer, The Independent, Tablet magazine, the Jewish Chronicle, Haaretz, and others. A graduate of the London School of Economics, she is a historical advisor at the Vienna-based Centropa, a Jewish history institute. Her first book, The People on the Beach: Journeys to Freedom after the Holocaust, was published in 2020. She lives in London.
