Secrets of my Camphorwood Chest

Jay Prosser’s newest book, Loving Strangers: A Camphorwood Chest, a Legacy, a Son Returns is a family memoir exploring themes of immigration, intermarriage and integration. He looks at Jewish identity beyond the landscapes of Europe and the Holocaust, referring to Iraq, India, China and Singapore. Prosser presents striking images from the book and discusses the extraordinary stories of some of his ancestors, who lived across racial and religious divides in Asia. Followed by a Q&A.
