Roberta Dietzen is Next Featured Author at Max and Benny's on May 5th

Roberta Dietzen, a North Shore author, will be the featured speaker at the next Max and Benny's Chicago Jewish Authors Literary Series on Monday evening, May 5, starting at 7:00 pm. Come early and have dinner before the event. Ms. Dietzen's new book, "Gypsy Music Street," is a memoir; a family history about love, loss and the endless ramifications of the Holocaust through the generations that followed. The story delves into what it means to be a child of immigrants, a caregiver for an aged parent, and the occasionally exasperating mother/daughter relationship that will resonate with many readers. After her mother's death, the author embraced her mother's dream of seeing the town of her birth and youth just one more time. Ms. Dietzen made an extraordinary journey to Hungary and Ukraine to explore her family history. In light of the recent political unrest unfolding in the part of the world, she is very happy she decided to travel to Eastern Europe when she did. "Gypsy Music Street"is available in print or as an ebook on Amazon. If you plan on attending this event, please contact Richard Reeder at richardreeder34@gmail.com.
