Trusting Calvin - How a Dog Helped Heal a Holocaust Survivor''s Heart

Informationen zum Autor By Sharon Peters Klappentext IN MEMORIAMLyons Press notes with sorrow the death of Max Edelman, a Holocaust survivor and the subject of Trusting Calvin, on November 5, 2013. He was 91 years old. Days before he died, he spoke with a school teacher about the Holocaust. He wanted not only to commemorate the lives lost but to point out how today's rigid thinking, unwillingness to hear contrary view points, and contempt for anyone different reminded him of those darker days. He told his story one last time because, if it helped just one person become kinder, less judgmental, more open to seeing our human similarities rather than differences, it might serve as the tiny stone that could create important ripples into the future. Edelman was beaten blind in a Nazi labor camp more than 70 years ago, but he saw better than most. He will be missed.
