Description: Journey back to pre-WWII Europe as long-time Newton resident, Hanni Myers, tells the poignant tale of her escape from Austria in 1938 through the lens of author Robin Stein’s new book, My Two Cities. The book speaks of loss and hope, change and optimism, and of a family history which will inspire us all, particularly young people who come to this country today with diverse backgrounds and their own immigration stories.
