The Accidental Anarchist is the true story of Jacob Marateck, an Orthodox Jew who was sentenced to death three times in the early 1900s in Russia—and lived to tell about it. He also happened to have been the author’s grandfather, and the book is based on the diaries that Marateck began keeping in 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War. For his role in the Polish Revolutionary Underground Movement that sought to overthrow the Czar, Marateck was sentenced to death for the third time, only to be saved, again, but this time by a most unlikely rescuer. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The Anne Frank Center USA was founded 35 years ago committed to tolerance, social justice, communitybuilding and freedom for all. Our publicly supported events and programs use literary engagement and artistic expression to create and encourage dialogue on these important issues in her name.

Bryna Kranzler is a graduate of Barnard College where she studied playwriting. Her first play was scheduled for production twice: the first time, the theater owner died, and the season was shut down; the second time, the director committed suicide. For the benefit of the arts community, she got out of playwriting and earned an MBA from Yale University to make up for her misspent youth. Her first book,The Accidental Anarchist, is the winner of multiple awards, including the 2012 Sharp Writ Book Award for General Non-Fiction, the 2012 Readers Favorite Award for Historical/ Cultural Non-Fiction, the 2012 International Book Award, and National Indie Excellence Award for a Historical Biography, and the 2011 “USA Best Books” Award for a Historical Biography.
