SUMMARY:JRI-Poland Book Club Meeting #3 - "Notes from Exile" by Sabina Baral
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next JRI-Poland Book Club Meeting! \nLed by JRI-Poland board members Hadassah Lipsius and Judy Baston\, the book club’s next Zoom meeting will be held on Monday\, June 1st at 8 pm Eastern (USA). It will feature special guest\, Sabina Baral\, award-winning author of the book we are reading\, “Notes from Exile”. \nSabina was born in postwar Wrocław (formerly Breslau)\, Poland. The only child of Esther GOLDMAN and Zygmunt BINDER\, quiet\, hardworking Holocaust survivors\, she grew up in a home shadowed by loss yet determined to rebuild a normal life. Forced to leave Poland due to Communist state-sponsored Antisemitism there in 1968\, “Notes from Exile” is a deeply personal generational memoir reflecting the obstacles to and perseverance of immigrants who are sent wandering from their homeland. \nAlready a celebrated literary success in Poland with six editions and acclaimed adaptations for theater and television\, Notes from Exile transcends its origins to touch hearts worldwide. This English edition invites readers of all backgrounds — Jews and non-Jews alike — to reflect on the resilience of those who have endured exile and to draw timeless lessons from history’s profound narratives. \nThe book can be found here: \n \nPlease note that participants in the Book Group must be dues-paying members of JRI-Poland. You can check your membership status by logging into the JRI-Poland.org website and checking the status bubble just under the “HELLO” message at the top of your screen. Hovering over the “HELLO” message will invoke a drop-down menu with the option called “MY PROFILE” where you can join if you have not yet by paying $54 annual dues. \n
