Molly Greenberg

4.9/5 (22056 ratings)

Description:Molly Greenberg was born on December 22, 1924 in an Eastern European Jewish shtetl called Skala Podolska in Poland. An orphan by age three, she was raised in poverty by her five older siblings. Her world was shattered on September 17, 1939 when the Soviet army seized control of Skala. This was the beginning of the end of a flourishing Jewish community. By late July 1942, the German military was in control of the area. Molly survived by pretending she was Mary, a non-Jew. She lived in constant fear of discovery and extermination. By the end of WWII, only one hundred and fifty of two thousand Skala Jews survived. Molly married another survivor. In January 1949, following a few years in a displaced persons camp (where a daughter was born), they came to America to start a new life. In December 1950, another daughter was born. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, her children were only told that the Nazis murdered their father's father, his sister and their mother's entire family. This part of Molly's life was off limits-too painful to talk about. When she entered her sixties, during a senior writing class, Molly finally faced her painful past. This book is about her life, in her own words. Her ability to survive and thrive serves as an inspiration to us all. Her stories were found in a long-forgotten case, hence the title, Secrets in the Suitcase.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
