MARINA ANTHROPOW CRAMER
Thursday, May 10
@ 6:30 PM
Meet local writer Marina Antropow Cramer, whose latest novel,
Roads, tells the riveting story of a Russian family and their attempts to survive Nazi-occupied Yalta during World War II.
Marina will explain her writing process and what inspired her to write this harrowing work of historical fiction.
When Librarian Matthew Thorenz sat down with his family to research
on
ancestry.com they had always thought that Matt's great-great-grandfather's name was Joseph but it was actually spelled "Jozsef."
Jozsef had immigrated from Arad when he was 3 years old, according to the manifest of the ship they arrived on, the S.S. Saxon, (
pictured above). Arad was part of Hungary until 1920, when it became part of Romania.
