    by Rich Lewis
    “1063” is a collection of 46 interwoven short stories as seen through the eyes of a boy growing up in the 1950s and 1960s in the village of New Hyde Park, NY, a Long Island suburb. The stories describe a much simpler time in America, as he learns to understand and negotiate with the adult-powered world, beginning with his immediate family, freshly arrived from Queens, NY.

  • World War II

    by Pith Schure
    Inspired by my father’s memories and those of my own, I undertook to assemble the stories of several persons on World War II. I happened to be connected in one way or the other to those people. This war has and still does impress upon me because of the madness of its initiators, the unreserved support by the mass of the German population, the collaboration of traitors and the resistance by the right ones. The latter deserve our respect.
