Memoirs of Activism from 1930s Spain to New York Today

Join us for a conversation with Eunice Lipton as she discusses her recently released family memoir, A Distant Heartbeat: A War, A Disappearance, and A Family’s Secrets, which explores her Latvian-born uncle’s path from Europe to the Bronx and then back across the Atlantic when he joined the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in the Spanish Civil War. Though Lipton never met her uncle, her tracing of his radical politics in New York shows how history can both haunt and mobilize families over generations.
