The true story behind the Tower of Life, a permanent Exhibit at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.
Using these photos, she built her amazing Tower OF LIFE, a permanent exhibit in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, to restore the soaring spirit of Eishyshok..
This is the stunning true story of how Yaffa made it her life\'s mission to recover thousands of her town\'s Photographs from around the world.
Nearly 3,500 Jewish souls -- including family, friends, and neighbors of Yaffa -- were erased.
But one dark day, Nazi soldiers invaded the town.
And before the Jewish New Year, they sent their precious Photographs to relatives overseas with wishes for good health and happiness.
There, shopkeepers, brides, babies, and bar mitzvah boys posed while Grandma Alte captured their most joyous moments on film.
She also loved helping her Grandma Alte in her photography studio.
She loved her family, her home, and her beautiful Polish Town that brimmed with light and laughter. -- School Library Journal , starred review There once was a girl named Yaffa.
A beautiful tribute....
Highly recommended. ★ ...
There are many picture books about the Holocaust, but this one stands out with Gal\'s beautiful watercolor pictures and the true account of one woman\'s goal that her community never be forgotten.
