Tova Rotleng-Cohen lived through the tragedies of war as a very young, blue eyed, blonde Jewish girl living in Poland, and later, in Palenstine in the 1930s.
Yes, you are right. This was immediately before the German army marched into Poland at the start of WWII.
Fortunately for Tova, her Grand Father, Isaac Meyer Goldwin, who lived in Norway, persuaded Tova’s parents to send her, quickly, to Palestine.
He recognized a war was on the verge and sent a ticket for Tova to have a means to get to Isreal.
This act by a Grandfather that she never met saved Tova’s life.
Because of this, she survived, but the atrocities of the Holocaust impacted every other Jewish relative living Poland. They were never seen again.
Tova grew up in a family that lived with the guilt that they were the only family members that survived the Holocaust.
To be happy in her home was considered a sin. It was too difficult.
Tova tells her story of how she unexpectedly reunites with the memories of her grandfather and was given an opportunity to give tribute to him.
Her story is expressed with memories of uncertainties in her lifetime and how she exercised hope and belief to overcome her many life challenges.
Tova points out how the polio pandemic of her time concerned many but it didn’t last forever.
A reminder that today’s COVID epidemic also will not be forever in today’s world.
Hope and belief are paramount when coping with the many challenges that life brings us.
Tova shares with us these important virtues that will also serve each of us when the unexpected and uncontrollable circumstances occur in our futures.

Jack Sanchez’s joy of life is to help people realize their potential. Jack was a teacher for 38 years. He taught everything from history and philosophy to the German language. He was also the track and cross country coach and academic decathlon coach. One of his amazing achievements was to take highly intelligent students that were average C students and hadn’t been motivated. His mission was to turn them on. He did just that! Jacks little high school in Auburn, California became the state champs three consecutive times.
Jack says that achieving goals in your life starts with a dream, then you go to a vision and finally you create a plan. Once these steps are completed perseverance kicks in with the execution of the plan. His life certainly demonstrates how well this method works.
Jack is 75 years old today. He walks and sprints for an hour a day and is planning on competing in the long jump and triple jump later this year. He and his wife have successfully climbed the highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro. All of this has been achieved because his belief that having a dream, vision and plan actually works. Always, always, always believe!
