About this title

Synopsis

A moving and joyful celebration of not only survival but also resilience and joy, expressed through 90 black-and-white portraits of Holocaust survivors and personal stories of their postwar lives.

The survivors, many photographed with their family members, share lessons they have learned and pass on the wisdom that comes from building a life of one's choosing out of the wreckage of despair.  Van Sise, an award-winning 20-year veteran photojournalist, spent seven years working with Holocaust museums and outreach organizations to compile these captivating images and textual vignettes as the author writes poetically about the incredible resilience of refugees to overcome trauma and rebuild new futures not only surviving but thriving as Americans.The result is an inspirational keepsake that readers will treasure. 
Completing the volume are essays by Dr. Mayim Bialik, Neil Gaiman, and Sabrina Orah Mark.
