The Stratford Library will act as host when Stamford author Julian Padowicz discusses his Holocaust memoir, “Mother and Me: Escape from Warsaw 1939” at 2 p.m. Nov. 30 at the library, 2203 Main St.

"Mother and Me: Escape from Warsaw 1939" is a wonderfully engaging memoir about a remarkable period in Julian Padowicz’s life, organizers said.

Though more than 65 years have passed, he has a keen recall for the series of events that changed the direction of his life forever, and provides vivid details of the colorful people and places that dominated this dramatic time, organizers said.

The author's engrossing tale is told through the eyes of his seven-year-old self, a unique perspective that is convincingly maintained throughout the story.

Then, at noon Dec. 3, author Stephen A. Miller will detail his experiences in dealing with the contemporary criminal justice system after being falsely accused of a crime.

“Just Cause Just Facts” features criminal acts including jury tampering and falsifying the transcript of a criminal trial by a federal district court judge. It also exposes the criminal act of obstruction of justice by 19 other federal judges including all nine Supreme Court Justices. “Just Cause Just Facts” is a story charged with powerful decisions by senior government and media officials which are contrary to both laws and common sense, event organizers said.

The programs are free and open to the public.

Autographed copies of both books will be available for purchase at the programsm which will be held in the library’s Lovell Room.
