The HMTC Louis Posner Memorial Library Book Club discussion of "Those Who Are Saved" by Alexis Landau

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County Virtual Event on Zoom (map)

Please join us on Zoom for this discussion of Alexis Landau's "Those Who Are Saved," at our monthly book club, hosted by HMTC’s Louis Posner Memorial Library.

As a Russian Jewish émigré to France, Vera cannot protect her four-year-old daughter Lucie once the Nazis occupy the country. Ordered to report to an internment camp, Vera has just a few hours to make an impossible choice: bring Lucie with her to the camp, or place her in hiding. No matter what her choice, she cannot know that Lucie will be on the other side of the war, a continent away, forcing her to search against all odds to find her lost daughter.
