Book Discussion: The Secret of 1945

Sunday at the Library

The Friends of the Rosendale Library invite you to a Read and Discuss for The Secret of 1945 by Barbara Freer

In June 1945, Bobbie, an American, Protestant girl, was taken to a French prison.  The ten-year-old and her grandparents had survived WWII in German-occupied France.  Bobbie’s parents, living in America, had received no news of their family for many years and finally heard in early June 1945 that their relatives were living in liberated Metz, France and were safe.  By June, Bobbie and her grandparents had disappeared and all contact was lost again.  This memoir was written by a local author who will be discussing her book and her wartime experiences at the library.  Please join us for an interesting discussion.

Copies of this book are available at the Rosendale Library. Contact Ann at rosendalelibrary@hvi.net to arrange to borrow one of the copies, or through the Mid-Hudson Library System.
