Maggie Paxson's Bomb Shelter Cafés are sing-along events inspired by the collective music of embattled communities in the era of the Second World War. From cozy living rooms to Manhattan apartment rooftops, libraries to bookshops, Bomb Shelter Cafés offer songs in French, Italian, Spanish, Yiddish, German, and Russian — and a chance to raise voices together for hope, resistance, and a better world. A writer, anthropologist, and performer, Maggie Paxson is the author of The Plateau, which received the 2020 American Library in Paris Book Award, and Solovyovo: The Story of Memory in a Russian Village.
