Best-selling novelist (“The Last Boy”) and Film Director (“Green Lights”) Robert H. Lieberman’s newly completed documentary 'Last Stop Kew Gardens' just screened in NYC to a series of sold out showings and was introduced by Evie Springer. In the film he takes the audience on an engrossing journey to meet the Americanized” kids, the children of survivors from the Holocaust who grew up in 1940s and 50s Kew Gardens. “It was an immigrant village in the heart of NYC, where German was the first language,” explains Lieberman. “And here I am, finally returning to the place I fled as a young man.” The film’s stars include personalities such as TV’s Jerry Springer, Comedian Robert Schimmel, Josh Brand (creator of “Northern Exposure” and “St. Elsewhere”), Rona Elliot (Today Show host), and lots of other dynamic people who continue to enrich our culture. In the midst of making the film, Lieberman managed to write an entire novel in a matter of a record-breaking three weeks. “It’s a thriller and coming of age story set in Kew Gardens in 1941. I think making this film opened the flood gates to a period in my life that I had completely cut off.” The title? “The Nazis, My Father and Me.” Also visit 'Green Lights'.
