About Berlin Revisited:In 1945, Baruch Posner returns to Berlin when he learns of his mother's impending trial for assisting the Gestapo as a Greiferin -- a Catcher who identifies Jews hiding as non-Jews. Sitting unnoticed in the rear of the courtroom, he discovers his mother's infamy and reflects on his escape from Germany to Cuba and then to the U.S. Leaving the courtroom, he swears never to return to Germany, his mother be damned. A year later, he receives a letter from Gemma Rosselli, a former friend, coworker, and ally in the underground. She writes that she has found in the Nazi archives information bearing on his parents. To see the documents, he must appear in person. About Yana: With the German occupation and pacification of Belgrade in 1941, an uneasy sense of normalcy replaced the gunfire and the bombings. After weeks of home confinement, Yana Primuz, a sixteen-year-old Serbian girl, defies her mother's orders and slips out of the house to meet her friends, and to flirt with the boys. But a sudden Nazi roundup ensnares her. Shipped in a cattle car to a German work camp, Yana sees in the women's faces around her a reflection of her own terror. But wiping her tears she vows never to give in, to escape, to survive. _________________ IMPORTANT TICKETING AND EVENT INFORMATION*Tickets are $5 (plus a small processing fee). *A coupon good for $5 off a copy of a featured book or a purchase on the day of the event is included with your ticket.
