Join us for a book discussion and sale with Yanek Mieczkowski, author of Surviving War, Oceans Apart.

This work takes readers to two countries ravaged by World War II, Poland and Japan, recounting the wartime experiences of teenagers Bogdan and Seiko.
Once the war ended, both Bogdan and Seiko immigrated to the U.S. to pursue educational opportunities. In bustling postwar New York City, they met, fell in love, and then started a family. Bogdan and Seiko’s story is one of hope, symbolizing recovery from war’s devastation and immigrants’ dreams of new lives in America.
A book sale and signing will follow the public event.
