PROGRAMME CHANGE

Dear Abraham-Eventer,

Please join us this Friday at 11 am when John Blaskey will host a short open discussion.  We should like to hear your comments and receive suggestions for future sessions.

As we don't have a new speaker this week we are also taking the opportunity to replay the recording of the captivating session that we held last August - when Lord Daniel Finkelstein discussed his new book with Gita Conn.  The book is now available in paperback.

Discussion and Repeat

Unimaginable Horrors  perpetrated by the two 20th Century Monsters 
How did his family survive them?
Could it happen again?

Daniel Finkelstein (aka Lord Finkelstein of Pinner), former Executive Editor and currently political opinion writer of The Times and the Jewish Chronicle, has been awarded Political Columnist of the Year four times. On the  Board of Chelsea Football Club, he and his family are members of The Ark Synagogue (Northwood and Pinner).
His first book, other than a collection of his Times’ columns ‘Everything in Moderation’, is topping the Best Seller list with unanimous praise from major reviewers.
“As gripping as any thriller” (Guardian) “Epic, moving and important” (Robert Harris) “Extraordinary, moving and terrible but redemptive” (Jonathan Dimbleby)
Danny Finkelstein recalls the suffering of his mother in Bergen Belsen and the lesser known horrors of the Gulag, endured by his father.  “What happens to my parents isn’t about to happen to me,” he writes in his introduction. “It isn’t about to happen to my children. 
But could it?” he asks.  It could. Absolutely, it could.”

The book is available from Waterstones, Amazon, and other booksellers.
