Remarkable Resilience: The Life and Legacy of NOÉMI BAN Beyond the Holocaust - Diane M. Sue

Descriere Remarkable Resilience: The Life and Legacy of NOÉMI BAN Beyond the Holocaust - Diane M. Sue

\n \nAfter enduring Nazi imprisonment and losing most of her family during the Holocaust, Noemi Ban was slowly recovering from her traumatic past - until the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. Terrified by a resurgence of Nazi sentiment, and the increased tyranny of the Soviet regime, Noemi summoned her courage and guided her husband and young sons through a successful escape into Austria.\n \n \n\n \nWelcomed into the United States as a refugee, Noemi navigated the complexities of life as an immigrant and returned to her teaching career, yet remained silent about her experiences as a Nazi prisoner. At the age of seventy-three, inspired by a speech given by fellow Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace prize winner Elie Wiezel, Noemi returned to Auschwitz-Birkenau to confront her haunting memories and honor her loved ones. She then dedicated the next three decades to sharing her story, capturing the hearts of tens of thousands of students and community members throughout the United States and beyond.\n \n \n\n \nRemarkable Resilience, written in Noemi's voice by one of her closest friends, preserves Noemi's legacy and messages of hope and healing. Further, Noemi's story provides a unique historical perspective from which to view current national and international political events. \n \n \n\n
