HMTC Book Club July 10 - The Lost Family by Jenna Blum [VIRTUAL-ZOOM]

  • Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County 100 Crescent Beach Road Glen Cove, NY, 11542 United States (map)

In 1960s Manhattan, diners flock to Masha’s, a restaurant renowned both for its fine European food and the handsome owner with the tragic past. Peter is certain no one can take away his guilt at surviving the Nazi death camps when his wife and children perished there. But June’s gentle ways pierce Peter’s guard. Through the life they make together, he begins to believe he can forget, never suspecting that the buried shadows of the past will come to life once again, forcing him to face them down this time if he is to save his only daughter. The discussion will be led by Dr. Linda Burghardt, Scholar-in-Residence.
