 Defying The
Tide
An Account of Authentic Compassion During
the Holocaust
by Reha and Al Sokolow
with Debra Galant |
The
true, first person account of
Ruth, a Jewish woman being hunted
by the Nazis, and her guardian
angel, Maria, a German woman
willing to risk her life and the
lives of her family to save her.
These two characters reveal, in
their own words, how the
flickering embers of human
compassion and menschlichkeit were
able to transcend the artificial
barriers of race, creed and
religion even during the
Holocaust.
Includes the reunion of the two
women fifty years later in
Germany, and describes this media
event that was featured in the
German and Israeli newspapers, as
well as the Jewish media in the
United States. |
|
Reha Sokolow is the daughter
of Ruth, whose memorable journey
is described in Defying the
Tide. Reha is a freelance
writer and currently teaches
English writing to Russian
immigrants in Brooklyn. |
|
As Associate
Director of Education of the Jewish
National Fund, Reha wrote and edited
Israel-based resources for distribution to
over 2500 schools throughout the United
States.
Al
Sokolow has taught English at the
Yeshiva University high schools and
currently teaches English literature at
Be’er Hagolah high school. Together with
his wife, Reha, they have undertaken this
labor of love in order to show that even
during the Holocaust there were scattered
islands of compassion that served as a
refuge for the fortunate few. |
