Synopsis
Izzy s Fire Finding Humanity in the Holocaust (revised 2008) tells the harrowing yet hope-filled true story of five Lithuanian Jewish families during the Holocaust who escaped Kovno Ghetto and were ultimately hidden (and saved) by a Catholic farm family. All 13 Jews ended up living in a 9 x12 x4 underground hole as World War II raged around them. Some lived underground for about seven months. Beasley draws from personal interviews, research and numerous memoirs, including extensive memoirs from Israel "Izzy" Ipson, who helped his family escape from Kovno Ghetto, one of the most notorious killing fields for Jews in Lithuania. The Ipps, as they were known then, relocated to Richmond following their liberation and later changed their name to Ipson. The story has been re-created at the Virginia Holocaust Museum in Richmond, Virginia.

About the Author
Nancy Wright Beasley's seven year journey that led to this book began when she heard Alan Zimm, a Buchenwald survivor, recite names of family members who died in the Holocaust. Beginning to understand the significance of recording survivor history, she read memoirs, interviewed survivors and discovered the miraculous journey that finally led Edna Ipson and her family from the heel of the Nazis to the other side of hell. She tells of their journey in Izzy's Fire.
Review
Nancy is a passionate, dedicated writer who has written a searing story, sure to capture readers with Izzy's Fire. She proves herself to be a storyteller who uses firsthand accounts and research with equal resolve. --Adriana Trigiani, author of the best selling Big Stone Gap trilogy
