Stories My Father Told Me: From Warsaw, Moscow, Algeria, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Dominican Republic

by Dvora Treisman

Rafał Feliks Buszejkin was not your typical Polish Jew of the 1930s. He was born in Warsaw in 1912 to a bourgeois Jewish family that left Warsaw in 1914 for Moscow to escape the Germans, and then returned to Warsaw in 1917 to escape the Bolsheviks.

Based on a memoir he wrote for his daughter late in his life (his manuscript is now at the YIVO archive), her new book, Stories My Father Told Me, is the refreshing account of an atypical Eastern European Jew of the early 20th centur... more

Earth's Emergency Room: Saving Species as the Planet and Politics Get Hotter

by Lowell E. Baier

Earth’s Emergency Room reflects on the differences between the era of the ESA (the 1960s and 70s) and today. Baier explains, “We have lost our national unity, bipartisan spirit, and clarity of purpose. In 1973 Congress made a moral pronouncement on behalf of the American people, that it was important to protect the Earth’s species. Today, we know that to be truer than ever, but we have lost our perspective. Only by recapturing the moral authority of the past, and acting as a united people, can w... more

The Armenian Seminars

by Michael Boyajian

The author’s depth of knowledge and almost lyrical style and spontaneity of speaking about such topics of interest to Armenians from their early embrace of the West, control of the photoengraving industry in the United States and the abundance of Armenian illuminated bibles and what they signified and the need for non academic history books that tell a swashbuckling tale of Armenian history and its heroes all comes to life here. As Plato’s Socratic dialogues were to Greek cultural... more
