    Join the Gershman Y for a discussion of the book The Dream by Harry Bernstein. Written by 98 year old Harry Bernstein, this moving memoir tells of Bernstein's growing up in England in the 20th century and the difficulties of being Jewish during this time. Eager to escape English mill town life, Bernstein's mother promises her brood a better life in America--a dream providentially fulfilled with steamship tickets. But even after reuniting with family in Chicago, his father's "bloody 'ell" bellows and monstrous rage continue to smite.
