One day, a young Arthur Horwitz, seeking to swipe a few bucks from his mother’s wallet, discovers an iconic Holocaust image of a terrified boy tucked inside. “Who’s this?” he demands of his mother. She insists it’s her little brother Meier, murdered by the Germans. But Arthur knows it isn’t. Now he is saddled with the responsibility of living two lives—his and the one little Meier never had. In this talk, Arthur M. Horwitz will share how this discovery became a burden that shaped his life, family, and media career. His recent book, Dual Identities: Living in Meier’s Shadow, is an insightful look at the impact of intergenerational trauma and the path to coping, healing, reconciliation, and remembrance.

This event is in-person only.
The Holocaust Center is proud to host the official book launch of Arthur M. Horwitz’s book, “Dual Identities: Living in Meier’s Shadow.”
A photograph. A secret. A lifetime of responsibility. Arthur M. Horwitz grew up hearing his Holocaust survivor mother’s stories of horror, heroism, and resilience—and discovering a haunting image that would connect him to a life lost before he was born. Dual Identities is his unflinching memoir of intergenerational trauma, identity, and the journey toward healing and remembrance.
In this program, Arthur will explore the making of his memoir, sharing the challenges he faced in navigating his own coming-of-age story in America. He will offer insights into the impact of inherited trauma, the path to coping, and the journey toward reconciliation. The program will be followed by a book signing and dessert reception, with books available for purchase.
