Set against the haunting landscapes of the Lodz Ghetto - Poland's second largest - and Chelmno nad Nerem, the first Nazi Extermination Camp, CHICKEN SOUP WITH TEARS explores the brutal realities of life and death in the dark shadow of Auschwitz. Amid rising global anti-Semitism, it offers a timely reminder of the unique suffering endured by the Jewish people.
Told through two separate yet parallel narratives, CHICKEN SOUP WITH TEARS confronts memory, moral awakening and the enduring force of compassion in the shadow of barbarism.

About the Speaker
Alan Walters
Alan Walters was born and raised in East London, a landscape of brick-and-mortar terraces and shifting fortunes that instilled in him a lifelong curiosity about people, places, and the forces that shape them. He studied Russian before turning to History at London University, and later read Education at Cambridge. His teaching career spanned both state and independent schools in London and the Home Counties, and eventually took him to a variety of schools across the Benelux countries, where he absorbed different educational cultures and languages, deepening his understanding of diversity and difference across a range of disciplines. Chicken Soup With Tears is his first novel.
