People of the Book

GJC’s Jewish book reading group meets monthly, reading and discussing fiction and nonfiction books of Jewish interest written mostly (but not solely) by Jewish writers and chosen by the group. Volunteer group members lead the discussion. For more information and the link to access the Zoom meeting, please contact Nan Myers.

June’s book is “The Last Jews in Berlin” by Leonard Gross.

In February 1943, 4,000 Jews went underground in Berlin. By the end of the war, all but a few hundred of them had died in bombing raids or in death camps. This is the real-life story of some of the few of them who survived. Reads like a thriller and triumphs like a miracle.
