Please join us for our FL JCC’s Summer Virtual Author Series.
Monday, June 30 at 3:30 pm with Ronald H. Balson, author of A Place to Hide
In Ronald Balson’s latest historical novel, A Place to Hide, Ted Hartigan, a non-Jewish American in his nineties, recounts his experience as a young US State Department staffer deployed to Amsterdam during The Third Reich of the thirties and forties. He tells his story to Karyn, a Jewish Dutch expatriate and a survivor of the Nazi occupation, who now lives in Tel Aviv. She agrees to record Ted’s life story with the hope that the former State Department official might help find her sister, from whom she’s been separated since the war.
