Bubbe’s Nightingale
A young woman learns a valuable lesson about love, life and loss, from her grandmother who participated in the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto
Love is eternal.
When Shayna Bender, a young Jewish woman visits her grandmother in the nursing home, she learns far more than she expected. Shayna’s marriage troubles inspire her grandmother to tell the story of her younger days, of a love that still burns brightly.
Shayna learns of her grandmother’s experiences in the Warsaw Ghetto, where countless Jewish citizens awaited death at the cruel hands of the Nazis. In her younger days, her grandmother was raised in an orthodox Jewish family. But her transition to becoming a full-fledged Zionist was sparked by meeting her future husband, a proud Zionist who stood up to the Nazi scourge. As the story unfolds, Shayna slowly realizes the capacity for evil – and the power of love.
In her grandmother’s warm eyes, Shayna sees a lifetime of hardship, but one that survived against all odds. And as the story of her grandmother blooms in her mind, she discovers that love makes life worth living… because it’s all that we have.
