Inspired to overcome any adversity.
I was honoured and privileged to have been selected as a writing partner with the Surviving Memories Project. The strength and resilience of the Holocaust survivors with whom I worked had a profound effect. Their memories were disturbing and moving. I gained a new appreciation of the power of faith, the motivation of hope and the importance of family. In the words of one of the survivors, this was my mitzvah.
I sincerely hope that in some small way assisting the survivors in telling their heart wrenching yet hopeful stories contributes to preserving the history of these “darkest of dark” times.
I am grateful to the survivors and the Azrieli Foundation for selecting me to work on this remarkable project.
