Religious persons of all persuasions must be sensitive to acts not only of human kindness, but also of human brutality. This story was redemptive in that it captured the essence of the triumph of the human spirit against all odds. Your family who emerged had done more than survive, they had overcome! Rev. Cecil L. Murray, First AME Church, Los Angeles, CA
Hanna and Walter Kohner were friends of mine. Theirs was an affecting story of the Holocaust driving people apart and a miraculous story of seeing two dear people reunited. Julie tells their story as a way of keeping the memory alive. Theodore Bikel, Los Angeles, CA
