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.

Ron Spiller served during the Korean War as a military tank driver for two years. When he came home from Korea, he had a wife and a two year old son waiting for him. Starting a new family and finding an occupation that could support them was in the forefront of his mind.
His first step was to work and go to night school. Soon he received a business management degree and was ready to find a career job. He knocked around for a while, attempting to find a job that he liked. He enjoyed seeing the product of his work. This desire eventually led him into manufacturing.
Manufacturing was a good place for Ron. He became employed in a variety of companies and jobs that exposed him to all the departments necessary to run a manufacturing company. His dream of running a manufacturing company was soon achieved.
Ron reaches out to today’s men and women. He emphasizes the need to have patience and not give up on your passion. At some point you will reach a pivotal moment which will direct you into the perfect career and job. Always be alert and look for these opportunities.
