Book Group featuring Author Talk

Dvora Treisman will speak based on her memoir of her father's life: Stories My Father Told Me: From Warsaw, Moscow, Algeria, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Dominican Republic. Dvora's father, Rafal Feliks Buszejkin, had a unique life story, journeying from pre-war Warsaw through Russia, Algeria, Siberia, Kazakhstan, and the Dominican Republic before settling in America. His WWII years spent in exile in Siberia and Kazakhstan take us to places Jews did not traditionally live and produce memorable tales.
