SUMMARY:Phyllis Karas\, Curse of the Blumenthals
DESCRIPTION:What if the secrets your family desperately tried to bury refused to stay buried? \nHear from local author and JCCNS member Phyllis Karas\, a New York Times bestselling author and journalist\, as she explores the haunting true story of the Blumenthal family in Curse of the Blumenthals. \nSpanning three generations\, the Blumenthals’ story begins with a Jewish immigrant family that builds a life in Providence and Boston\, survives Prohibition\, and finds itself forever changed by tragedy. In 1935\, six family members\, including three children\, are killed by a drunk driver. Years later\, the family’s “golden child\,” Ronnie Blumenthal\, is arrested for murder. \nDecades later\, Karas begins uncovering the long-hidden secrets\, unanswered questions\, and generational trauma surrounding the tragedy. What emerges is a gripping story of crime\, loss\, family\, and ultimately\, the possibility of breaking a terrible cycle of secrets. \nJoin us for an afternoon of true crime\, fascinating family history\, and a remarkable story of secrets uncovered eventually leading to much needed healing across generations. \nIn conversation with Doug Grad\, founder and President of the Doug Grad Literary Agency. \nIncludes book sale and signing.  Coffee and bagels will be served. \n								\n									Get Tickets

SUMMARY:Michael Benson\, Hollywood vs. Nazis
DESCRIPTION:What happens when Hollywood becomes the front line in the fight against Hitler? \nJoin us for a fascinating evening exploring the remarkable true story behind Hollywood vs. Nazis\, Hitler’s attempt to turn Hollywood’s “Dream Factory” into a Nazi propaganda machine\, and the secret efforts of Jewish movie moguls to stop him. From the moment Hitler came to power in 1933\, he understood the enormous influence American movies had to shape public opinion. But he underestimated the Jewish studio leaders who recognized the threat and secretly fought back by financing undercover operations to infiltrate pro-Nazi organizations in Southern California. Part history\, part espionage thriller\, Hollywood vs. Nazis reveals a little-known chapter of World War II and the extraordinary role Hollywood played in the fight against fascism. \nIncludes book sale\, signing and light refreshments. \n								\n									Get Tickets
