A major in the British Secret Service and Special Operations Executive in World War II, author/photographer, Jon Naar leads the discussion on “The List”, a book by Martin Fletcher on survivors of the Holocaust. All are invited to come to Adath on Sunday, February 26th at 9:45am for our annual One Book One Jewish Community event that will be entertaining as well as enlightening. We will be treated to a lively discussion in which Jon describes the parallels between his life and the many events documented so accurately in this remarkable book. Jon plans to make the discussion very interactive as he describes the many ways that his unique life intertwines with the events in the novel. Whether or not you have read or completed the book, you will certainly find the discussion relevant to your lives as it details a very difficult time for the Jewish people following the end of World War II.
