Perseverance: One Holocaust Survivor's Journey from Poland to America

In recognition of National Holocaust Remembrance Day, we're pleased to welcome local author Lee Kikel to discuss her book Perseverance: One Holocaust Survivor’s Journey from Poland to America.

The book tells the story of Lee's father Melvin Goldman and his miraculous survival during the Holocaust. Perhaps even more miraculous is his refusal to let his experience destroy his faith in God or his love for humanity. Told in his own words from audio recordings he made decades later, and supplemented with his daughter’s memories of their happy life in Pittsburgh, this is a story which no reader will ever forget.

"Jewish people use the phrase 'never again,' and vow to not let the world forget the depths to which people can sink,' Kikel says. "Stories and testimonies like my father’s are vital to keeping this vow."
