“When Tears Fall Short” is the true story of the life of a young woman ravaged by war and loss, who feels compelled to record her account of World War II. She sees life through the eyes of a human being struggling to stay alive and at the same time blossoming into womanhood. The resilient nature of the human spirit under the worst of circumstances illustrates itself vividly in this book. The reader is blissfully lost in love one moment and feels the writer's despair the next moment; this book toils with your emotions as untold history unfolds. One example of history that the world is not aware of, is the De-Nazification status that the German government gave to Nazis for the equivalent of a $500 charge. After the war, Nazis could legally declare by a government decree that they were not Nazis during the war. The only requirement for this service was to pay a fee. This memoir begins in 1939, in the small Polish village of Nowy Dwor, on the outskirts of Warsaw. It explores the hopes and dreams of a young girl coming of age into an expanding world of abundant possibilities. The events that come into her life alter her entire destiny as she grows up overnight into a world that is unbearable to endure. As the war ends, the author finds herself in the most complex of life’s predicaments. Although, as Jews they have lost their entire families to war, the author, her husband and child are placed as refugees, into the home of a nazi family. The ironies of life are explored in the most unusual and unlikely situation that is, amazingly, at the core of human depth. The book ends ten years later at the eve of the birth of a new Israel and the eve of a new life for the next generation. This eloquent, masterful and unusual memoir is written with simplicity and intelligence that will haunt and provoke the reader’s mind. The journey through history, through the perspective of a little girl and now, a woman of wisdom, will take you to the other side of war. This is the place where future generations can learn from their common lineage of war. This memoir encourages the reader to bear the inheritance of bigotry for the purpose of never having to relive it. As you read the pages in this book, you will see the unwritten message as a warning for what could happen again and a hope for the fruitful destiny of humanity.
