Here are the details:
Category 16: Award for Excellence in Writing about Jewish Heritage and Jewish Peoplehood in Europe
First Place Lilith Magazine, New York, NY “The Isle of Man” by Pessy Krausz:
Pessy Krausz has spun literary gold from the dross of her stay in a British internment camp, recounting in the most magical way the day her mother told her the story of the family’s escape from the Nazis. The sweetness of the mother/child moment and the horror of the tale collide to create a breathtaking, memorable essay.
