Miracles Through Hell: A True Story of Holocaust Survival And Intergenerational Healing

Jerry M. Elman

Miracles Through Hell is a deeply moving untold story of bravery, luck, and redemption. Elman uncovers the details of his parents' lives before the Nazis took control of Poland, leading readers through the miracles and hell his parents experienced as the war raged on. Through telling his family history, Elman's own story is told.

Readers are emotionally drawn into his family's plight throughout the book. This book is hard to put down once started.

Making this book even more unique is the fact that very little has been written about the children of Holocaust survivors, the second generation. Elman highlights the psychological impact passed on to them through their parents. He shares details of the emotional scars carried by Holocaust survivors and how, through their silence, those scars were passed on to their children. Elman shares intimate details of his journey to face and overcome his emotional demons.

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?
