Miracles Through Hell: A True Story of Holocaust Survival and Intergenerational Healing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578382487)

Miracles Through Hell is an untold story of bravery, luck, guilt, redemption, intergenerational pain, and healing. Few Holocaust-related books have been written with such depth and insight. This book is hard to put down once started.

Elman uncovers the details of his parents' lives before the Nazis took control of Poland. He leads us through the miracles and hell they experienced as the war raged on. The decisions and choices forced on them, the rebuilding of their lives, their emotional demons, PTSD, and finally, the trauma of second-generation survivors. By telling his family history and their experiences and fate, Elman's own story is told.

Elman compares today's challenges to America's democracy with those Germany faced in the 1930s. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is destabilizing the world order. Is history repeating itself?
