  • "On March 4, 1957, Rudloph Kasztner, former head of the Jewish Rescue Committee in Hungary, was assassinated on the streets of Tel Aviv for the choices he made while negotiating the rescue of 1600 Jews aboard his controversial "Kasztner Train." Fifty years later in the Catskills, one of the survivors of that train struggles to face his own family's choices in relation to this historical event."
  • ""Set around the days of Yom Kippur, Tickling Leo follows three generations of a family whose secrets and resentments threaten to wipe away its future. When he loses touch with his estranged father, Zak Pikler and his girlfriend Delphina travel to an abandoned Catskill lake where the eccentric poet Warren Yitzchak Pikler lives in solitude and declining health. As Zak copes with his father's dementia, Delphina begins to uncover a secret the Piklers have been hiding since the Holocaust of World War II. Through twists of plot and character, Tickling Leo lays bare the Pikler family's humorous, faulty, and always passionate search for an understanding of what it means to be an American family in the 21st century"--Container."
