Falmouth Jewish Congregation invites everyone to a breakfast event featuring Larry Tye, best-selling author and journalist. Tye will discuss his upcoming 10th book: “The Forger of Paris: Adolfo Kaminsky and the Jewish Resistance to the Holocaust” for HarperCollins. Adolfo Kaminsky’s inimitable skill at erasing blue ink signatures enabled him, at the age of 18, to rescue as many as 10,000 Jews slated for deportation and extermination. Tye will share his research, interviews with survivors and insights after having traveled across nearly every country in Europe and Israel.
Come with your curiosity and questions, enjoy coffee and bagels, and be prepared for an engaging, insightful and inspiring presenter - Larry Tye.
Larry Tye is a New York Times bestselling author and former Boston Globe journalist. Tye’s first book, The Father of Spin, is a biography of public relations pioneer Edward L. Bernays. Home Lands looks at the Jewish renewal underway from Boston to Buenos Aires. Rising from the Rails explores how the black men who worked on George Pullman’s railroad sleeping cars helped kick-start the Civil Rights movement and gave birth to today’s African-American middle class. Shock, a collaboration with Kitty Dukakis, is a journalist’s first-person account of ECT, psychiatry’s most controversial treatment, and a portrait of how that therapy helped one woman overcome debilitating depression. Satchel is the biography of two American icons – Satchel Paige and Jim Crow. Superman tells the nearly-real life story of the most enduring American hero of the last century.
Tye’s most recent books look at how two U.S. senators helped shape their times. Bobby Kennedy: The Making of a Liberal Icon explores RFK’s extraordinary transformation from cold warrior to fiery leftist. Demagogue: The Life and Long Shadow of Senator Joe McCarthy probes America’s prolonged love affair with bullies. In his last book, The Jazzmen, Tye presented a joint biography of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and Count Basie and focused on how these three maestros wrote the soundtrack for the civil rights revolution.
