Professor Ronald J. Berger's compelling book is the true story of his uncle and father, Jewish men who survived the Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Poland as children. One brother endured several concentration camps, while the other passed as Catholic among anti-Semitic Poles and eventually became an officer in the Soviet Army. Berger traces the defining prewar, wartime, and postwar events that marked their extraordinary lives in his book.

Meet local author, Lahna Anhalt, as she talks about her newly released book, Aunt Laura’s Attic: Short Biographies of Famous People You’ve Never Heard Of.

“The passion I have for this work comes from deep inside. I do not think I ever experienced anything like it before.”

Meet Mrs. Wilder, older, wiser, and reflecting back on her life. She will tell you her life story and how she came to produce her literary works.
This program is part of the Library’s outreach programming. It is free and open to everyone in the community. Refreshments will be served.

Miss G’s spicy and revealing story answers all the burning questions the world has been dying to know about “The Garbo.”
