Join us for a special discussion with two Tucson Festival of Books 2025 featured authors! Joel Waldman and Mimi Zieman, both authors of deeply personal works, will sit on a panel with a local descendant of survivors for a discussion on literary voice and the experience of growing up as a child/grandchild of Jewish Holocaust survivors.

Joel Waldman is the co-host of the hit true-crime podcast and now book, Surviving the Survivor, and an Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist who worked most recently as a Washington, D.C.-based correspondent for Fox News, covering national politics from Capitol Hill. He has also worked as an investigative reporter for Fox 5 in New York City and for TV-news programs in West Palm Beach, Miami and Tucson. He lives in Miami Beach with his wife, Ileana, and his three children, Vida, Zizi, and Judah.

Doctor Mimi Zieman is the author of an award-winning memoir, Tap Dancing on Everest and a play, The Post-Roe Monologues. As an OB/GYN, she has also co-authored 17 editions of Managing Contraception. Her writing has appeared in USA Today, Newsweek, Ms. Magazine, NBC News THINK, The Forward, and other publications.

This event is free but registration is required.
