VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB: The Jewish Community Center of Youngstown is offering a free virtual book club beginning this month. The club will meet author Ariana Neumann to discuss her book “When Time Stopped: A Memoir of My Father’s War and What Remains” via Zoom from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday.

In the memoir, the author dives into the secrets of her father’s past: years spent hiding in plain sight in war-torn Berlin; the annihilation of dozens of family members in the Holocaust; and the courageous choice to build anew. Included is a question-and-answer session with the author.

Use Zoom meeting ID 690 681 8290 to join the discussion each month. Purchase the books or contact Emelia Sherin at esherin@jewish youngstown.org or 330-746-3251, Ext. 106, for a copy.

Online class is free but registration is needed by Tuesday. To register, visit www.eventbrite.com per call to SWCD office or the Farm Bureau office at 440-426-2195.
