Molly Burack Annual Lecture HOLD FAST THE TIME Written by Marilyn Bornstein In Marilyn Bornstein’s gripping novel, Ora Shappel, a suburban 64-year old Jewish widow, travels to Israel to corroborate the details of a past life she experienced while under hypnosis. Both lifetimes, Ora’s and her counterpart’s, Julia Crispina, a Roman slave and prostitute, collide in a time warp of romance, politics, danger, and forbidden love. Marilyn Bornstein, a teacher and family therapist, has combined her professional expertise with her love of writing to create this first novel. She has written poetry and published magazine articles. She has been a beloved member of the JCC/NCJW Life Long Learning Program for many years.

This talk will explore the characteristics of “degenerate art,” explain why it was believed to be so dangerous and recount the fates of the artists involved.
