Love in a world of sorrow / Heller, Fanya Gottesfeld

Fanya Gottesfeld Heller was born into a traditional Jewish family in a small Ukrainian village. She was able to evade the Nazi death squads with the help of a small group of Christian rescuers. Beset by hunger, and faced with the constant threat of execution, she miraculously survived. Today she shares her story and dedicates her life to furthering the cause of tolerance and hope.

The author recalls her experiences and those of her family during the Holocaust in the Ukraine, and describes their times of hiding, death and betrayal, and other horrific encounters.
