SUMMARY:Pamela Reitman Presents on Charlotte Salomon in San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:A tale of determination and pursuing art against all odds, Charlotte Salomon Paints her Life: A Novel follows real life painter Salomon through the encroaching terror of the Third Reich as she works to complete her monumental life’s work. Pamela Reitman will present a slideshow, reviewing the artist’s life and work, including paintings and photographs.

To follow: Q&A and book signing.\nEVENT INFORMATION:\nJuly 10th, 3:30pm-5:00pm\n1661 Pine Street\nSan Francisco, CA\nBooks will be available to purchase at the event.\nAbout Charlotte Salomon Paints Her Life:\nInspired by the life and work of Charlotte Salomon, this novel shows an artist intent on pursuing her art against all odds. As a young German-Jewish art student at The Berlin Art Academy during Hitler’s rise to power in 1938, Charlotte’s first place prize is denied because she is a Jew, her enrollment annulled. After Kristallnacht, she is sent from Berlin into exile with her grandparents.\nWhen Charlotte’s grandmother leaps to her death, her Old World grandfather shocks her with the family secret, a legacy of female suicides. She struggles against her grandfather’s insistence that suicide, not art, is her destiny too.\nHaunted by the encroaching terror of the Third Reich and the threat of psychological disintegration, Charlotte clings to her determination to become a serious modernist painter, to complete her monumental work “Life? Or Theater?” and get it into safekeeping in a race against time before capture by the Nazis.\nAbout Pamela Reitman:\nPamela Reitman is an award-winning writer with numerous publications in literary journals, news outlets, and magazines. She has a B.A cum laude in English from Columbia and an MPH from the University of California Berkeley. She is retired from a career in public health and community service aimed at reducing the stigma of mental illness. Ms. Reitman was a past Director of Makor Or: A Jewish Meditation Center in San Francisco. She is lay ordained in the Soto Zen Buddhist tradition. She lives in Northern California with her husband.\n
