Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The Liberator's Daughter skillfully weaves together the story of Deborah Levine's GI father at the end of WW II, her family's Jewish roots in Bermuda, of all places, and a shocking treasure trove of Holocaust reminiscences from a total stranger whose story becomes intimately hers. In a fascinating, multifaceted memoir unlike any that you'll ever read, Levine takes us deep into her family's unusual history to show how it shaped her own growth as a truly inspiring interfaith, social justice activist. Compelling, uplifting, and unique. ~Lev Raphael, author My Germany: A Jewish Writer Returns to the World His Parents Escaped Many liberators such as Levine’s father kept their experience largely secret. So the publication of excerpts from the letters of her father is an important new resource for Holocaust education and research... Overall, The Liberator’s Daughter is a very readable introduction to the journey of the Jewish community over the past century. When I worked with Deborah Levine, I found her a person who rarely failed. This volume is no exception to this record of accomplishment. ~The Rev. Dr. John T. Pawlikowski, Professor of Social Ethics at the Catholic Theological Union A founding member of the US Holocaust Memorial Council. Deborah is a fabulous writer! She writes with passion and the reader can only walk away, after finishing her work, knowing more, caring more and believing more. The Liberator's Daughter is a tale that beautifully matches its name as it intertwines her life with her father's. It gives everything it promises. ~ Cathryn Cohen, Former Executive Director of the Foundation for Monterey County (CA) Free Libraries
