The HMTC Louis Posner Memorial Library Book Club Discussion of Ronald Balson’s Eli’s Promise

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

In this meeting of our monthly book club, hosted by HMTC’s Louis Posner Memorial Library, we will be discussing Ronald Balson’s Eli’s Promise, which tells the story of a Jewish man from Lublin whose wife disappears during the Nazi occupation and his desperate search -- through war-torn Poland, in displaced persons camps in Germany, and into modern-day Chicago -- for both her and the man who swore to keep her safe. Please read the book, a limited number of copies of which are available at HMTC, and join us for this virtual discussion.
