Between Two Worlds Book Club

Join us to discuss A Jewish Refugee in New York by Kadya Molodowsky, one of the most well-known and prolific Yiddish writers of the twentieth century. Rivke Zilberg, a 20-year-old Jewish woman, arrives in New York shortly after the Nazi invasion of Poland, her home country. Struggling to learn a new language and cope with a different way of life in the United States, Rivke finds herself keeping a journal about the challenges and opportunities of this new land.
