This book describes Holocaust reality as we have never encountered it before. From the unrelenting fear of death and gnawing pain of hunger; to the budding relationships of an adolescent girl growing into womanhood during the worst of all times; the author withholds nothing. Fanya Gottesfeld Heller's subtle depiction of her parents knowledge that it was a non-Jew's love for their daughter that had moved him to hide them; and their embarrassment and ultimate acceptance of the situation; lead us to wonder how we would have acted under the same circumstances as father; mother; or daughter. Love in a World of Sorrow features Fanya's gripping tale of survival and an updated foreword and epilogue by the author; reflecting more than a decade of experience bearing witness to the Holocaust before hundreds of audiences around the world. On the reading list at Princeton University; the University of Connecticut; and Ben Gurion Univesity of the Negev; among others. Fanya Gottesfeld Heller's book is an indispensable educational tool for teaching future generations about the human potential for both good and evil.
