Love and Luck: A Young Woman's Journey from Berlin to Shanghai to San Francisco
Karen Levy
Karen Levy’s first book, Lulu Lamby, is the enchanting, illustrated children’s story of Sam and that special stuffed friend, Lulu Lamby, who often gets left behind. The book was reviewed by Kirkus Reviews in January 2021, and it was called “a relatable tale about comfort items for young readers." BJC Past-president, Shoshanah Drake, has developed music education curriculum materials using the book.
Fritz Gluckstein Z"L
In a series of vignettes, Fritz Gluckstein (Z”L) paints a picture of life lived openly as a Jew in Berlin during the Holocaust. The architects of the Final Solution never reached a decision about what to do with the Jewish spouses and offspring of good Germans. As a result, although they were never deported, families like his were subject to all the discriminatory laws imposed on the Jews under Nazi control including the wearing of the Yellow Star, confiscation of property, and slave labor. As a survivor volunteer at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum for more than 25 years, Fritz took part in a writing workshop designed to help survivors commit their experiences to paper. The result is this short, highly readable book. All profits from the book are donated directly to the Museum, but Fritz’s widow, Maran, will make the $5 author’s donation to BJC if you let her know that you have purchased the book. You can reach her at marangluckstein@gmail.com. She would also love to know your thoughts on the book!
Fritz's remarkable story can be bought here.
