No Road Leading Back is the remarkable story of a dozen prisoners who escaped from the site where more than 70,000 Jews were shot in the Lithuanian forest of Ponar after the Nazi invasion of Eastern Europe in 1941. Anxious to hide the incriminating evidence of the murders, the S.S. later in the war enslaved a group of Jews to exhume every one of the bodies and incinerate them all in a months-long labor—an episode whose specifics are staggering and disturbing, even within the context of the Holocaust.   Followed by a brief ceremony of commemoration for Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day).  (Brunch 11am; author presentation 11:30am; commemoration ceremony approx 12:30pm.  Attending the presentation and commemoration is free; there is a charge for eating at the brunch.)
