Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Saturday January 21st at 3:00 pm as they welcome Jana Zimmer to the store to discuss and sign Chocolates From Tangier.

A second-generation Holocaust survivor weaves together fragments of her family’s history and witness testimony in narrative and collage, using her art as transformation and remembrance. 

Jana Zimmer was born in 1946, the only child of two Holocaust survivors from Czechoslovakia, who fled with them as a refugee from the communists to land in Canada days after her second birthday. Zimmer became a collage/mixed media artist after her mother came to live with her in 1995. In her artwork, through text and image, she explores issues of memory, exile, and responsibility. She currently resides in Santa Barbara, California.

This event is free to attend and will be held in the courtyard at DIESEL, A Bookstore in Brentwood.
