Was it Just a Matter of Luck?
Intimate and historically sweeping, this is a testament to the endurance of memory and the resilience of a single family who refused to be erased. Through the voice of his mother, Ray Kaner – a fiercely intelligent girl, who survived four years in the Łódź ghetto, slave labor, and near death in Bergen-Belsen – Dr. Charles Kaner reconstructs her shattering experience during the Holocaust, the power of sisterhood, and the extraordinary life that followed. Interwoven with his own journey as a second-generation survivor, Kaner traces how Ray transformed her trauma into action, helping establish one of the first Holocaust testimony projects in America and laying groundwork for the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City.
