Remembrance and Legacy: Profiles in Jewish Sacrifice, Survival, Strength

After Harry Lowenstein, Holocaust survivor and founder of Congregation Shalom Aleichem, Kissimmee, Florida, shared his account of his "six years of hell" under Nazi brutality, Marilyn Cohen Shapiro resolved to capture more stories of Jewish sacrifice, survival, and strength. Remembrance and Legacy is a collection of essays reflecting her mission to make sure their memories and lives are a blessing. - A young man treks overs over three continents to make it to America-The Goldene Medina- in 1917.- A fourteen-year-old girl, who miraculously escaped the "murder by bullets" that decimated her shtetl, joins Soviet partisans in the forest.- Anne Frank's posthumous stepsister finally fulfills a promise she made to her brother in a boxcar headed to Auschwitz. - A World War II veteran's memories of helping to liberate Dachau haunt him until his death.- Three Jewish families erect monuments throughout Belarus to honor Jewish Holocaust victims. "A deeply moving testament to Jewish courage, remembrance, and the enduring power of human resilience that I hope will inspire future generations to stand and act."-Daniel W. Dembling, President, Capital District Jewish Holocaust Memorial, Inc.
