“Growing up and living with a Holocaust survivor is a humbling experience. I had the desire to write my mother’s story when I was in my early twenties, but she was not receptive at that time. Then one day, decades later, she was talking to a man who told her that he didn’t think the Holocaust ever happened. She was angered, and she cried, and now out of that saddening confrontation, an incredible story has emerged.”
The author lives in Pennsylvania and is employed at a local area hospital as a Medical Lab Technician. Ursula’s Prism is her first book.
