A Story of Rose’s: Creating a Personal
Narrative to Remember and Investigate
Presented by Larry Volk
A Story of Rose’s is a biographical narrative about Rosette
Alcabes Volk, Larry’s mother and a Holocaust survivor, whose
journey brought her from Cuba to France, and later to the
United States and Cleveland, Ohio. It is a son’s creative
effort to know his mother through significant events that
shaped and changed Rose’s identity. It is an act of remembrance
but also investigation. Through a presentation of his work
exploring his mother’s history, Larry will discuss the process
of using the photographs and materials that are handed through
generations to preserve family history.
