While Kurtz explored the town’s history and tried to track down the stories of the faces in the footage, some of the stories-and survivors-ended up finding him. An old family film gave Kurtz a glimpse of life in Nasielsk in 1938-a year before the Nazi occupation of Poland began, and before the town’s Jewish population was nearly lost. Three Minutes in Poland, Glenn Kurtz, MA ’89, PhD ’94 Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $30. Her tales, set in northern New Mexico, evoke the region’s fiery spectrum of color and passion, religious and otherwise, and explore the mystery and tenacity of family ties.

Tangled Vines: Greed, Murder, Obsession and an Arsonist in the Vineyards of California, Frances Dinkelspiel, ’81 St.
