A Russian Immigrant: Three Novellas - Book Trailer
Kicking off our #VirtualBookLaunch! Each like or share from now until 11am enters you for a chance to win a free copy of "A Russian Immigrant"! Author Maxim D. Shrayer tells you about his book with a little help from his writing assistant, Stella the poodle:
An Excerpt from When the Menorah Fades (Chapter 16)
“The big guns continued to bombard the town from near and far over the course of two days. There were still some Soviet army units left in Hadiach, some of which had arrived from the nearby forests. A fierce battle was pitched near the bridge that led from Hadiach to Veprik. The Germans bombed it quite often from the air and bombarded it with their heavy artillery. A tremendous traffic jam had formed near the bridge—consisting of soldiers, refugees, and cars, all headed for the forest. The German bombs were not at all precise: the bridge lay unharmed. However, on the third and fourth days confusion and panic took hold everywhere.” David Lahav, great-grandson of Zvi Preigerzon, reads an excerpt from "When the Menorah Fades". #VirtualBookLaunch
An Excerpt from When the Menorah Fades (Chapter 22)
“The police officers have bolted the door from the outside. They are standing there on the other side of the door keeping watch to make sure that not a soul escapes. The cemetery is silent, just as it has always been. The sensitive ears of those locked inside can hear their own beating hearts as loudly as if they were rolling thunder. Seized with panic they all swallow hard. They are silent, their eyes sticking out in the dark, as they await their fate.” Rachel Lahav, great-grandaughter of author Zvi Preigerzon, reads an excerpt from "When the Menorah Fades". #VirtualBookLaunch

Preigerzon's ancestors, including Alex Lahav, editor of "When the Menorah Fades", here discuss Preigerzon's fascinating life as he lived and wrote through some of the most momentous historical events of the twentieth century. #VirtualBookLaunch
When the Menorah Fades by Zvi Preigerzon: Historical Background
In his novel "When the Menorah Fades", Zvi Preigerzon imagines the lives of residents of Hadiach, a small town in Ukraine, through the pogroms and the Russian Revolution, to communist rule and Nazi occupation. Hadiach is known for being the site of the Perpetual Flame of the Menorah at the gravesite of Shneur Zalman Schneerson, the founder of the Chabad movement. It is said that Jewish life will persist as long as the menorah continues to burn. Here, Preigerzon's great-granddaughter Michal Lahav provides the fascinating historical background of this sweeping novel. #VirtualBookLaunch
