“AT SEVENTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD, SHE SEES MORE DOCTORS THAN A JEWISH WIDOW ON THE HUNT FOR A HUSBAND.” This book has its share of emotional and harrowing moments, but it also has lots of comedy and happy moments. It’s more like a glowing sense of accomplishment – like deep down she’s quelled by the knowledge that survival is sweet satisfaction.” Author (and Bubbie’s Grandson) Russel Lazega says “…she recalls those days with sadness, strangely there’s really not a hint of bitterness. As well as her quest to reach the promised land of the USA. The second narrative tells of her escape from Germany and the Nazis. Where she is a mother, a grandmother, and a great-grandmother. One timeline told in detail is Bubbie’s life right now. What is so incredibly unique about this book is that the narrative follows Bubbie’s life during two very different timespans. However, in case you think this memoir is one containing only humorous anecdotes, think again. A million dollars they’ll pay you for this book! I know from these tings – I’m no dumb bubbie.'” Silver hair, tortoise-shell glasses two sizes too big, and that unmistakable Yiddish accent, ‘I vant you should make this book. In fact, Russel describes her by saying: “She’s a page right out of a Neil Simon play, my grandmother, a true Miami Beach Jewish bubbie. In addition, there are plenty of books written by, or about, Holocaust survivors, but none of them are quite like this.Īuthor Russel Lazega’s “Bubbie” (Grandmother) is one h*ll of a character or maybe even a caricature.
When you think of biographies or memoirs you tend to think of fairly dry reading with sporadic moments of interest.
