Zlata's Diary: Bosnia Stories
Tuesday, March 21st, 7:30pm
with Zlata Filipovik
When Zlata Filipovik’s Diary was first published at the height of the Bosnian conflict, it became an international best-seller and was compared to The Diary of Anne Frank, both for the freshness of its voice and the grimness of the world it describes. Following its publication, she was awarded the Special Child of Courage Award by the Simon Wiesenthal Center. She and her family left Sarajevo in December of 1993, and used the proceeds from the book to launch a charity for child victims of the Bosnian war. Join Zlata to discuss her book as a part of her national tour in support of it’s US publication in February.
