“In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin,” by Erik Larsen Dr. Howard Levin will lead a discussion of this well-researched book that chronicles the beginning of a horrendous chapter in the history of western civilization – the rise of Nazi Germany. The events are shown from the perspective of the newly-appointed U.S. Ambassador, who met and socialized with the Nazis and only gradually discovered the true nature of the “Beasts.” The discussion will be held at 1:15 p.m. in the Band/Desenberg Chapel at Temple Beth Sholom, 1050 S. Tuttle Avenue, Sarasota. The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. For further information call Arlene Hamburger at 921-2554.
