Author Annette Libeskind Berkovits kicks off this year’s Michael-Ann Russell Jewish
Community Center’s (MARJCC) annual Meet the Author Jewish Book Series on Wednesday, January 25, at 1:00 p.m., at the MARJCC, 18900 NE 25th Avenue, North
Miami Beach.
Berkovits, the author of the novel, “The Corset Maker”; two memoirs— “Confessions of an Accidental Zoo Curator” and “In the Unlikeliest of Places;” a book of poetry, Drythra Thalassa: Brain Disputed; and science educational publications for children and adults,
will discuss her latest book, a memoir— “Aftermath, Coming of Age on Three
Continents.” In “Aftermath,” Berkovits takes the reader on a journey that begins in her
birthplace of Kyrgyzstan, then to Poland, Israel, and finally, New York. Reflecting upon
her immigrant experience of dislocation and trauma, “Aftermath” captures the author’s
journey of overcoming adverse conditions and establishing a new and fulfilling life in
the United States.

available for purchase and signing by the author. Light refreshments will be served at
