Literature Lovers
Sunday, September 25 Our Holocaust by Amir Gutfreund
Our Holocaust is a novel narrated by a nameless child of Holocaust survivors. The book tells the story of relatives who are “collected” by virtue of the fact that they themselves have no one to call their own family since many of their parents, children, brothers and siblings were murdered during the Holocaust. The relatives operated under the “Law of Compression,”
wherein fellow neighbors were turned into uncles, cousins and even grandparents.

The House of Twenty Thousand Books
by Sasha Abramsky
The House of Twenty Thousand and Books is the story of Chimen Abramsky, an extraordinary polymath and bibliophile who amassed a vast collection of socialist literature and Jewish history. For more than fifty years Chimen and his wife, Miriam, hosted epic gatherings in their house of books that brought together many of the age’s greatest thinkers.
Historians of the Old and New Left movements in Britain, students of Jewish history and philosophy, and book-lovers of any stripe will find this memoir totally absorbing (from Jewish Book Council review).
