Docs & Donuts: The Unimaginable Journey of Peter Ertl

Special date and time!

104 min.

The extraordinary odyssey of a German amateur violinist who becomes a reluctant soldier in Hitler's army and defies overwhelming odds to not only survive World War II, but to become a U.S. Government agent.  Then, after immigrating to America, he begins a 25-year career with a small company owned by Orthodox Jews.  Peter Ertel, 95 at the time of filming, tells his own incredible and inspiring life story.  This is an unprecedented film narrative of that era which, sadly, has newfound relevance to our current times.

Novel-Tea Book Club: The Bookman's Tale

Enjoy tea and treats provided by the Menomonee Falls Library Friends while discussing a fiction book selection.

This month we are discussing The Bookman’s Tale by Charlie Lovett. Peter Byerly isn’t sure what drew him into this particular bookshop in the Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye. Nine months earlier, the death of his beloved wife, Amanda, had left him shattered. The young antiquarian bookseller relocated from North Carolina to the English countryside, hoping to outrun his grief and rediscover the joy he once took in collecting and restoring rare books. But upon opening an eighteenth-century study of Shakespeare forgeries, Peter is shocked when a portrait of Amanda tumbles out of its pages. Of course, it can’t be her. The watercolor is clearly Victorian. Yet, the resemblance is uncanny, and Peter becomes obsessed with learning the picture’s origins.
