About this listen

Glass Stories is a collection of two short stories set in the Muranów neighborhood of Warsaw, Poland over 250 years apart. The two young protagonists—an immigrant servant woman named Paolina, who is being punished for something she didn’t do, and Moishe, a young Jewish boy in the Warsaw Ghetto who wants to fight his Nazi oppressors—struggle against impossible odds.

Like it has across cultures for centuries, glass plays a deep symbolic role in the stories. The characters see reflections of themselves in both a literal and figurative sense, and eventually take pieces of glass into their hands, hoping for solutions to their challenges. As cities change and the technology we surround ourselves with alters our lives in new and unexpected ways, these stories offer a mysterious and breathtaking look at the past that echoes forebodingly in the present.
