Anita Robboy: A Force for Good, Gebunden

Klappentext

A Force For Good is the biography of the remarkable life of Gisela Warburg Wyzanski.
Unlike many wealthy German Jews, Gisela chose to remain in Germany to combat the horrors wrought by the Nazis. She worked tirelessly to rescue European children, place them in foster homes, and help them emigrate to Palestine. A Force For Good: Gisela Warburg Wyzanski evolved from the discovery of a treasure trove of letters and documents carefully preserved by Gisela herself and recently discovered by her daughter, Anita Wyzanski Robboy, the author of this biography. Set in Germany, Palestine, England, and the United States, Gisela's life story spans the historically significant pre-WWII to post-WWII period as seen through the eyes of a courageous young Jewish woman who, without concern for her own safety, leveraged her upbringing of wealth and privilege to help rescue children from the Nazis. Along the way, she developed friendships with some of the most powerful and influential Jewish leaders of that era, who became her mentors. Sadly, many of the horrors Gisela witnessed are echoed in today's current events, but A Force For Good will provide a unique perspective on how one determined and courageous person can make a difference in the world.
