Tai Chi at Auschwitz: An Unexpected Reconciliation Journey
Peacemaker Featured Event (May 20th, 2026)
Please join Zen Peacemakers for Tai Chi at Auschwitz: An Unexpected Reconciliation Journey, an interview and presentation with Peter Sternberg and Maura Sternberg, hosted by Kathleen Hôetsu Battke.
Peter’s original essay, Tai Chi at Auschwitz, was translated by Kathleen for the book Pearls of Ash and Awe. Now Peter and Maura will share from their continuing work, including selected readings and reflections on reconciliation, healing, and practice at sites of deep suffering.
Kathleen, who has also translated Peter and Maura’s book into German, will guide a thoughtful conversation with the authors, followed by time for questions and discussion.
This gathering invites us to listen deeply, bear witness, and consider how embodied practice can open unexpected pathways toward healing.
