A moving biography of the woman who created The Tower of Life, a powerful exhibit at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.
This is the stunning true story of how one girl spent her life recovering thousands of photographs of her town from around the world. Using these photos, she built a permanent exhibit to restore the soaring spirit of Eishyshok.
Show full descriptionThere once was a girl named Yaffa. She loved her family, her home, and her beautiful Polish town that brimmed with light and laughter. She also loved helping her Grandma Alte in her photography studio. There, shopkeepers, brides, babies, and bar mitzvah boys posed while Grandma Alte captured their most joyous moments on film. And before the Jewish New Year, they sent their precious photographs to relatives overseas with wishes for good health and happiness. But one dark day, Nazi soldiers invaded the town. Nearly 3,500 Jewish souls, including family, friends, and neighbors of Yaffa, were erased.
