That is until she met Michael Frank and asked him to help her polish a talk she was to give about life in the Juderia of Rhodes. Neither of them could know that this was the first of one hundred Saturdays that they would spend in each other's company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCourageous and sharp, elegant and sly, Stella is a formidable modern Scheherazade whose Saturday instalments give a window into the vibrant, vanished world of the Jews of Rhodes. She unspools for the first time the long threads of her history — from the sun-soaked shores of her childhood, to the fifteen harrowing months she spent in camps scattered throughout Europe, and finally to the United States and New York as one of only 150 Jews from Rhodes to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing colour illustrations based on Stella's family photographs, \u003cem\u003eOne Hundred Saturdays\u003c\/em\u003e is an unusual and extraordinary memoir. It is a testament to the soul-saving power of relationships; to memories revisited; to resilience. It's not only a vital slice of history that has largely been ignored, but a story of the possibility of an ever-evolving self, even after confronting Hell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46521514950892,"sku":"9781800815377","price":43.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4253863482829.jpg?v=1749015634"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/michael-frank.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
