Exhibition Opening: And That's True Too

Speakers to be announced

And That’s True Too: The Life and Work of Lore Segal presents a richly documented exploration of the life and literary legacy of Lore Segal (1928–2024). Born in Vienna, Segal survived Nazi persecution as a child when she escaped on one of the earliest Kindertransports to England. Her subsequent life—marked by displacement, reinvention, and a lifelong engagement with language—shaped a body of work distinguished by moral clarity, wit, and intellectual rigor.

The exhibition features photographs, manuscripts, rare books, and archival materials that trace Segal’s journey from prewar Vienna to New York and examine how exile informed her novels, short stories, translations, and children’s books, as well as her influential career as a teacher.

The title And That’s True Too reflects Segal’s commitment to complexity and multiple perspectives—an ethos that runs through her writing and her reflections on memory, identity, and human connection.
