“With the cinematic speed of a finely tuned screenplay, CROSSING THE BRONX—David Hirshberg’s final novel of his Mid-Century Trilogy—is an elegantly crafted thriller that captures the time, place, and ambience of the city like few others. Hirshberg again demonstrates that he has simply the most perfect, eclectic, and encyclopedic voice to write about not only the tragedies and romances of the city but also the crime and corruption of that era that led to the creation of a modern New York. The consequences of those struggles mirror the fault lines of our own conflicted era. This is a rare gift, and no one writes better with such quintessential gravity and beauty. A perfect must-read.”

—Howard Jay Smith, author of Viva Violetta & Verdi and Meeting Mozart

“It takes great courage to confront one’s demons by sharing them with your children, especially when they are now adults. Yet, that’s exactly what ninety-year-old Holocaust survivor David Diamentstein finally does—before his time runs out.Written with much love and wit, his son Todd comes to grips with his own trauma by connecting the historic dots between the Holocaust and the rise of current global antisemitism in the post–October 7th world. Pass the Trauma, PleasePass Please stands as a unique memoir among Holocaust literature because it does far more than document the past. It connects the past to the present.” —HAYA MOLNAR, author of Under a Red Sky: Memoir of a Childhood in Communist Romania, winner of the National Jewish Book Award

SAVING FREE SPEECH ... from ITSELF confronts the confusions and contradictions around free speech: do we really want it to always apply without restriction, or is some regulation warranted and necessary when free speech is  weaponized, as in the tragic events in Charlottesville in the summer of 2017, in such a way as to to harm innocent people. Distinguished University Professor of Touro College, Thane Rosenbaum bravely takes on this cultural lightning rod in a provocative and compelling book that engages everyone from political junkies to the general public. Written in a lively and accessible style, Rosenbaum examines what is at the heart of this pressing 21^st century debate.
