Read With Jenna Book Club Pick! New York Times bestselling author Lauren Grodstein chats with Zibby about WE MUST NOT THINK OF OURSELVES, a gripping story of love and sacrifice inspired by the real-life efforts of the Oneg Shabbat group, a clandestine archive project in the Warsaw Ghetto in WWII. Lauren recounts the harrowing history of the ghetto, Emanuel Ringelblum’s leadership in documenting Jewish life under Nazi oppression, and her inspiration to write this deeply personal and historical work during the pandemic. The conversation dives into the theme of resilience, Lauren’s fascination with family dynamics in her books, and the importance of preserving memory.
