The HMTC Louis Posner Memorial Library Book Club discussion of "All the Broken Places," by John Boyne

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

This new novel tells a compelling story and asks some provocative questions: Is it ever too late to confront the past and make peace with it?  Is it possible to shine a light on some of the darkest aspects of human nature and come to terms with them?  This is a powerful story about secrets and atonement after Auschwitz, a tale of guilt and complicity but also about finding solace after a lifelong struggle to embrace one’s humanity and learn how to hold fast to it.
