The First Presbyterian Book Club will hold the July meeting on the 14th at 2:00 pm. We will be discussing "Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948" by Madeleine Albright. Under the Clinton Administration, Albright was selected to be the United States Ambassador to the United Nations. During the vetting process for this position, it was brought to her attention that her family was Jewish. Her family had immigrated to England from Czechoslovakia to escape the Nazi invasion. Her parents hid their Jewish heritage, and Madeleine was unaware of her family history. In the book Prague Winter she reflects on her discovery of her family's Jewish roots many decades after the war and on her Czech homeland's tangled history.
