Synopsis
“You were functionally paralyzed when you were brought into the ER,”
Dr. Jay Rhee, neurosurgeon
Out of the Void and into the New Normal
A casual bike ride on a lovely April day in 2020 turned into a near-death experience for newly retired Warren Marcus. He awoke in what he calls the void and found out much later that he had suffered a severe and life-altering fall (even with a bike helmet on).
A split second. A life changed forever.
A highly skilled surgeon did the only life-saving procedure he could, considering the extent and nature of the trauma. He fused Marcus’s upper spine back to his skull. And thus started his many months of rigorous recovery and rehab early in the pandemic. Anyone who has experienced a traumatic life-changing accident will identify with the fortitude and grit to recover and rediscover a new normal. Share this miraculous recovery story told through the eyes of the author, who earned the nickname Ironman.

Warren Marcus is a retired educator who taught middle and high school for 17 years and worked at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for 26 more.
Warren was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He graduated from Brown University and the Harvard Graduate School of Education,.
At St Andrew's Episcopal School in Maryland, Warren developed a successful and well-regarded senior history elective on Twentieth Century Issues, including sections on the Holocaust, the Vietnam War, and nuclear weapons.

During his many years at the USHMM, Warren coordinated and presented teacher training programs onsite and nationally for thousands of teachers. He developed lessons and learning tools for classroom, online, and Museum use. Warren helped teach docent training.
The Museum's popular public program, First Person, conversations with survivors of the Holocaust, was funded in its debut year by the Marcus siblings, in honor of their father, Sydney Marcus, a WWII vet, who had recently passed away. Thereafter, for more than 20 years, Warren was closely involved with the survivor volunteer community at the Museum through First Person, docent training, and sitting with survivors at the desk in the central hall, where they were surrounded by students and adults who wanted to learn and to hear from them.
He worked for several years with military personnel, foreign and domestic, on exhibition tours and case studies focusing on lessons for plebes and officers building off of events of the Holocaust. Additionally, Warren contributed format and content to the online Holocaust Encyclopedia.
Warren lives outside of Washington DC with his wife, Lisa. They have two grown children, Ally and Joey.
