Publisher's Synopsis
Seventy years after World War II ended, stories still emerge from the ashes of the Holocaust. This true story chronicles the life of the Dutch van Dam family and the German-Jewish Herschkowitsch family who were impacted by the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Regime and suffered through the most horrific period of modern history. In particular, it focuses on Oma and Opa who survived the Holocaust, emigrated to the United States and re-built their lives in a meaningful way. It is a touching story of lost hope, lives lost, and the enduring power of love. The quiet heroics of the many people in this true story - based on one courageous woman's oral history - are a remarkable testament to the indomitability of the human spirit.
