Description

Join a reference librarian for a discussion on this book chosen by Long Island Reads. After finding refuge from the Nazis in America, a brother and sister return to their native Germany in 1945, as the Allied occupation begins. Mostly set in a bombed-out, black-market-driven, postwar Berlin, The Living and the Lost brims with a spot-on timeliness in its concern about the lasting damage of a culture of hatred while delivering a riveting look at the days and months leading up to the building of the Berlin Wall, its consequences and its lasting impact on individuals. The first 10 people that sign up are entitled to a copy of The Living and the Lost. We will contact you when they are available to be picked up at the reference desk.
