Als Michael Frank die heute hundertjährige Stella Levi zufällig kennenlernt, nimmt eine große Geschichte ihren Anfang. Sie lädt ihn in ihr New Yorker Apartment ein, und bald wird aus den Besuchen ein Ritual: An hundert Sams­tagen erzählt Levi dem Schriftsteller ihr Leben. Gemeinsam suchen und erkunden die beiden eine fast märchenhafte, verlorene Welt.

Sie beginnt zu schreiben: Briefe nach Breslau an die von den Nazis ermordeten Großeltern.

Quella che meglio dovremmo conoscere proprio per capire, rispettare e amare ancora di più i nostri nonni, padri, madri e sorelle che partirono. Quella che abbiamo rimosso per ricordare solo gli "zii d'America" arricchiti e vincenti.

Enslaved West Indian women had few opportunities to record their stories for posterity. Yet from their dusty footprints and the umpteen small clues they left for us to unravel, there's no question that they earned their place in history. Pick any Caribbean island and you'll find race, skin...

In 1920, in small-town America, the ubiquitous dry goods store was usually owned by Jews and often referred to as "the Jew store".

The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in that tiny town of one main street, one bank, one drugstore, one picture show, one feed and seed, one hardware, one barber shop, one beauty parlor, one blacksmith, and many Christian churches.
