Description
In this narrative I bring you back to Poland of 1935, when Hala, my mother, the pampered daughter of a prominent family of Lodz, receives a phone call from her best friend inviting her to meet an eligible bachelor who resides in Belgium. Ignas, my father, has come home to Poland to find a bride. Hala and Ignas marry and we learn how the grand illusion of their charmed life is catapulted into the harsh reality of World War II. Their ?exodus? across half the world, their rescue from the Holocaust by the ?Angel of Bordeaux?, their multiple personal losses, culminating in their reinvention in America make for a tale of resilience and fortitude.
