Exit Berlin
Wednesday, September 30, 7:00 p.m. – Northport Public Library

Author Charlotte Bonelli will discuss her new book Exit Berlin: How One Woman Saved Her Family from Nazi Germany. The book is based on letters discovered in the New York City apartment of Luzie Hatch, a German Jewish refugee. The young Hatch arrived in New York shortly after Kristallnacht with the help of her American cousin, industrialist Arnold Hatch. Exit Berlin has been called “a powerful work that sheds light on what one person with determination could—and could not do—to save those she loved.” Charlotte Bonelli is director of the Archives of the American Jewish Committee. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. No registration required.
