Daniela Spenser will give the 2025 Frank A. Belousek Lecture in Czech History from 4 to 5 p.m. Sept. 11 in the Nebraska Union's Platte River Room South. Spenser will discuss her book “Echoes of Exile: A Family’s Odyssey Through the Holocaust and Cold War.”
The book is a sweeping exploration of survival, resilience and the fate of one family amid Europe’s most turbulent century. Spenser’s work reveals the difficult choices her mother and family faced, the tests to their loves and loyalties, and the lingering scars of exile.
Spenser is a fellow at Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social in Mexico City. She is the author of “The Impossible Triangle: Mexico, Soviet Russia and the United States in the 1920s” and “Stumbling Its Way Through Mexico: The Early Years of the Communist International.”
