Boston based physician, medical educator and writer Dr. Lisa Gruenberg will travel across the country to sign her book My City of Dreams on Monday, March 23 at 7 pm.

In this second-generation Holocaust memoir, Gruenberg, confronted with her elderly father’s flashbacks, begins to inhabit the story of his sister Mia, who disappeared into Germany in 1941. After her father’s death in 2005, Gruenberg traveled to Vienna, Germany and Israel to explore this lost landscape, and to trace the fates of Mia, their extended family, friends and neighbors. She wove her own story with theirs, linking them together with photographs, archival and primary source material, family letters, diaries, her father’s writing, his genealogy research, and the joyful tales he told her long ago.
