More About This Book

Overview

The Holocaust—perhaps the darkest period in human history—conjures up horrific images: death camps, torture, starvation, genocide on a grand scale. For survivors, the end of World War II and liberation all too often meant being alone, bereft of every last family member, frail in body and spirit. The thought of rebuilding life was daunting. Yet there were some rays of light during this nightmarish time: inexplicable events in which human lives were spared, families were brought back together, and the human spirit and faith somehow endured—because of a chance occurrence at just the right moment.

 

These uplifting twists of fate or "extraordinary coincidences,” as they are known, have become the hallmark of the best-selling Small Miracles series, which has sold more than two million copies. In Small Miracles of the Holocaust—a magnificent work that appears on the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht ("night of the broken glass”)—authors Yitta Halberstam and Judith Leventhal have collected over fifty remarkable Holocaust and post-Holocaust coincidences that defy the imagination and challenge credulity. From remarkable reunions and timeless love stories to amazing survival tales and new twists on heroic acts—ranging from Oskar Schindler to Chiune Sugihara—this book will become a staple in Holocaust literature and a cherished keepsake.

 

A beautiful tapestry of stories both magical and revelatory, no matter what one’s persuasion or beliefs, Small Miracles of the Holocaust opens our eyes to the gifts and blessings that surround us all the time—even in the worst of times.

    NOT SO SMALL MIRACLES

    Taken from various true recollections and persons, this collection will have your heart melting in your chest as you read about every nature of unbelievable kindness that was provided during the darkest hour of mankind's history. This should be required reading in every school and for every person. To paraphrase... "it was the worst of times.." but somehow the inner light of what makes us all human has shown through. READ THIS BOOK!

    Drawing inspiration from disaster

    Uplifting is not a word generally associated with books dealing with Holocaust survivors, but "Small Miracles of the Holocaust" is precisely that. Within the pages of this small volumes can be found inspiration, courage, integrity, serendipity, even humor. When faith in the capacity of the human spirit for compassion, endurance, and trust is waning, this book is sure to go a long way toward restoring it.
