“After Nazis confiscated my father’s store, we fled to the Philippines where there was a community of 1,200 Jewish refugees.

We survived the Japanese occupation and the brutal battle between Japan and the U.S. over Manila.” Read about two Holocaust survivors in One Person’s Loss. Learn more about the book in NOVELS.
