Ada Nicolescu, author of Prelude in Black and Green, will speak about her new book. Refreshments will be served. No admission fee.
Based on historical events, Prelude in Black and Green is a novel about a Jewish family in Bucharest, Romania in the increasingly unstable 1930s.

Prelude in Black and Green puts forward new insight into the question of why many Jews didn’t leave Europe earlier to protect themselves.
