From Darkness to Light

<p><b><em>From Darkness to Light</em> is a compilation of personal testimonies of six Holocaust survivors written in a short story format. </b></p><p>The book walks readers through their life experiences before and during the Holocaust their liberation and their new life in Israel. Each story is told in their own words culled from hours of personal interviews with them and their children so the world can have first-hand knowledge of what happened during that darkest time of our history. </p><p>These survivors came from different parts of Europe and not one story is like the other. Now in their eighties and nineties they still recall in detail their darkest memories. Amid immense pain and suffering they managed to overcome every hurdle they encountered under the Nazi regime. When these stalwart individuals were liberated no matter what further anguish and obstacles they faced they realized their dream to make <i>aliya</i> to Israel. They settled in the Holy Land as visionaries and pioneers to build the Jewish state which itself was undergoing conflict and difficult economic times. Their love for the Jewish homeland and their creation of families with children grandchildren and great-grandchildren exemplify how Hitler's aim to annihilate the Jews was nullified.</p>
