We Survived the Holocaust: The Bluma and Felix Goldberg Story
We Survived the Holocaust: The Bluma and Felix Goldberg Story (First Tree of Life Books printing)
by Frank W. Baker with Tim E. Ogline
ISBN: 979-8-9896382-1-5
The acclaimed graphic novel We Survived the Holocaust: The Bluma and Felix Goldberg Story is now available from Tree of Life Books.
During Adolf Hitler’s rule over Germany, there were over 40,000 Nazi concentration, labor, and death camps built with the intent of erasing an entire population of Jews, Sinti, and Roma, as well as “other examples of impure races.” Bluma Tishgarten and Felix Goldberg were both young Polish Jews caught up in the Holocaust, Hitler’s rise to power, the rise of antisemitism, and more. Yet they survived. Bluma and Felix’s miraculous story of survival, combined with the rise of nationalism and fascism, leading to the extermination of millions of human beings, is also a cautionary tale―a dangerous history that, if we do not heed the warning signs, could very well be repeated.
“The scariest stories are true stories—and WE SURVIVED THE HOLOCAUST is a true story. A powerful and unforgettable story of the power of love within a family as they stand against the storms of hate. Accessible, heartbreaking, cautionary, and uplifting. Everyone in America should read this story. Every single person.”
–Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author and educator
