I Am Lubo: A Hidden Life

I Am Lubo: A Hidden Life

THE LOU DUNST MEMORIAL LECTURE Please join the UC San Diego Jewish Studies Program and UC San Diego Library for a lecture by Holocaust survivor Louis Pechi, on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 from 5–7 p.m. in the Seuss Room at Geisel Library. This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is required at https://hlhw-pechi.eventbrite.com. Born in the Croatian city of Zagreb, Louis “Lubo” Pechi was seven years old when the Germans invaded Yugoslavia. In response to the mounting anti-Semitic repression and strict laws prohibiting Jews from traveling, the Pechis converted to Catholicism and changed their identities in hope of finding safety in Italy. While the Pechi family managed to escape to Rome, a series of unexpected events followed, marking a lengthy journey of survival for Lubo. Decades later, he began the arduous process of recovering the memories of his hidden life by writing his memoir I Am Lubo: A Child Survivor from Yugoslavia.
