Personal Triumph

When Hope Prevails: The Personal Triumph of a Holocaust Survivor by Sam Offen

This book, written by an elderly survivor of the Holocaust, is stark in its simplicity. The horror of it is very real but the triumph of survival leaves hope for us all. Sam and his two brothers survived but their mother, father, sister and many other relatives were killed. It is difficult to read about the gas chamber. Sam came to the U.S., married and had a family and lived to tell the story. He will be speaking in person at Oxford Public Library on October 7, 2010, at 7 p.m. Register now!
