Abstract:
"Story of Anne Skorecki Levy, the Holocaust survivor who transformed the horrors of her childhood into a passionate mission to defeat the political menace of Louisiana's David Duke. It is the first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they made for themselves in the United States. Beyond chronicling one family's flight from persecutio to freedom, however, it offers dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness." -- Jacket.
