Prospect Park Stories tell how we became who we are today — living in collapsing civilizations destroying all struggling to survive the dogmas of authoritarian governments. These stories ask the question—who determines our future? — forces beyond our control — Destiny? — or human intelligence ever striving for Freedom? For fifty years, going from Vilna to Vladivostok, Kobe, Shanghai, Yenan, Bejing, — and surviving China's deadly Cultural Revolution — a destitute Refugee finds freedom and fulfillment in Brooklyn, New York. From the lessons of WWII and the ‘Cold War’ — to today's disdain for International Law — Prospect Park Stories dramatize existential questions of human survival With America, despite its many failings still standing as a 'City on a Hill'--Prospect Park stories are compelling, worthy of attention as a powerful symbol, a revelation for Americans who have lost sight of one of America's defining myths The myth inspiring Sarah's fifty year journey overcoming all adversities. A myth we as a nation seem destined to destroy. A story worth telling. Asking when will humanity and decency prevail over our inhumanity—Prospect Park Stories dramatizes the hopes and courage of twenty-one survivors of mankind's struggle for decency, peace and justice.  Norman Weissman affirms our belief that democratic values will ultimately vanquish authoritarian ideologies as the long arc of history brings more Freedom to our suffering world. Freedom and Truth are the foundation of civilization and despite all attempts to control what we believe —

Freedom will prevail.
