Finding Jonah
with Special Guests Linda Twersky and Robert Starkman

Linda Twersky and her cousin Robert Starkman (son of our founder) will join us via Zoom to discuss her book, Finding Jonah: A True Story of Love, Hope and Survival, which will be available for purchase at the event.

The book presentation will introduce audiences to the author’s family members and provide highlights of their amazing journey to freedom during WWII.  Using photographs, maps, and genealogical data, the author will explain her reasons for writing this book and the methods she used to carefully research the details of her family’s story and its historical context.

Linda D. Twersky, M.S.Ed., is a writer and graphic designer whose career focus has been on information design, technical documentation, training manuals, and marketing collateral in both educational and corporate settings. With this non-fiction book, she turns her skills and attention to a first-person account of her family’s dramatic experiences prior to and during World War II. She lives in Florida with her family which includes two feline editors and part-time literary critics.
