Stumbling Blocks: A Second Generation Holocaust Memoir
Paul, Jennifer’s father, was born in Germany in 1928. At age ten, just after Kristallnacht, his parents sent him and his older sisters to Belgium. There, they lived for two years with relatives they barely knew. In 1941, Paul’s parents reunited with the children and fled Germany. When Jennifer was born in the 1950s, she was called a lucky girl. She was born at a time of relative peace and safety. But she felt the presence of the people left behind, whose incomplete histories were told in fragments. Was this because no one knew what happened? Or was someone trying to protect her? Stumbling Blocks is Jennifer’s journey to find truth and meaning from the legacy of the Holocaust.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Admittedly, I’m late to the party. If anyone read To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, in Spencerport, NY during the 1970s, he or she wasn’t assigned it in my English classes. In February 2019, I got the opportunity to see the Aaron Sorkin remake of the play, To...
Erik Larson Fan – Devil in White City, Finally
I think I've now read the last of Erik Larson's books written to date. I'd put off The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America for quite a while because I'm not so big into gore & I knew this was a tale of a serial...
