MomentBooks Will Release THEODORE BIKEL'S 'THE CITY OF LIGHT' by Aimee Ginsburg Bikel and illustrations by Noah Phillips

“Aimee Ginsburg Bikel's shaping and sharing of her beloved late husband Theo Bikel's tale of what he experienced as a little boy during the rise, and then explosion, of hatred that preceded the Holocaust, is beautiful, painfully powerful, and a great gift.
