SUMMARY:Divine Corners: In the Shadow of the Holocaust on a Catskills Chicken Farm | Dallas Jewish Book Fest
DESCRIPTION:No wonder Michelle Friedman became a psychiatrist – she started young.\n\nA child of Holocaust survivors\, she grew up on a Catskills chicken farm\, absorbing a legacy of trauma\, displacement\, and family violence. In this illustrated memoir\, Michelle weaves together hair-raising stories of her parents’ wartime survival with vivid memories of life on the farm in Divine Corners\, a remote Borscht Belt hamlet and an unlikely home for cultured Polish Jews raising three children. Her unflinching yet loving inquiry explores Jewish identity\, resilience\, and what makes one person break while another survives.\n\nDivine Corners depicts the struggle it took to make it out of the limited trajectory of her childhood and emerge into a rich life that includes family\, community\, and professional gratification as a psychiatrist and teacher of rabbis in Manhattan. An excerpt from the book's epilogue appeared in the Modern Love column of the New York Times in August of 2022\nAaron Family JCC7900 Northaven Rd Dallas\, TX 75230December 14\, 2026\, 7:30 - 9:00 PM CST\nOrder tickets HERE.
