Author Kitty Morse will discuss her new book "Bitter Sweet: A Wartime Journal and Heirloom Recipes from Occupied France." This book was written after she discovered her great-grandfather's journal chronicling the advance of the Germans in Le Grand Est (Alsace Lorraine) between April and December 1940 and two notebooks filled with recipes written in her great-grandmother’s hand in a suitcase left to her by her mother. Bitter Sweet takes place in and around her mother’s birthplace, Châlons-sur-Marne (now Châlons-en-Champagne.) Blanche Lévy-Neymarck, Morse's maternal great-grandmother, died at Auschwitz in 1944 along with one of her daughters and her son-in-law. Her husband Prosper, an army surgeon in WWI, was twice the recipient of the Légion d'Honneur. This book is not just the story of a family torn apart by war, but features seventy unique recipes that shows the rich history of a family.

Dr. George Eisen will discuss his most recent book, A Summer of Mass Murder: 1941 Rehearsal for the Hungarian Holocaust. Most accounts of the Holocaust focus on camps like Auschwitz. This book provides a hitherto untold chapter of the Holocaust by exploring a prequel to the gas chambers: the face-to-face mass murder of Jews in Galicia by bullets. The summer of 1941 ushered in a chain of events that had no precedent in the rapidly unfolding history of World War II and the Holocaust. In six weeks, more than 20,000 Hungarian Jews were forcefully deported to Galicia and executed. The narrative presents an uncharted territory in Holocaust scholarship, incorporating many previously unexplored documents and testimonies. The book also serves as a personal journey of discovery. Among the 20,000 people killed was a tale of two brothers -- the author's uncles.

The Coronado Historical Association invites you to the next lecture in the Wine and Lecture series as author Christian Esquevin gives an inside look at his latest book Designing Hollywood: How the Studio Wardrobe Department Created the Image of Golden Age Movie Stars. From the earliest days of their establishment in Hollywood, movie studios found that they needed to set up wardrobe departments and hire the best costume designers they could find. Women made up a large part of the audience – and they wanted to see the newest fashions on their favorite stars. Men could be attracted to the sexy outfits on the now stylish “Hollywood line” figure. The studios geared their advertisement to promote what the top stars would be wearing in forthcoming films. The lecture will focus on Esquevin’s new book and will include a slide show featuring the biggest stars of the Golden Age in costumes designed to create their image.
