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.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Bob Berman grew up in a family that stayed in the city except for an annual trip to the Tahoe area. It was always Bob’s preference to go with the flow of life and not take big risks in life. It was the easiest thing to do. Unfortunately, his love with the outdoors was not satisfied because there was no easy way to get to the country hills.
Bill also spent most of his professional life as a public defender. He never wanted to start his own law practice because it to, was too risky.
Bill’s suggestion to other people who avoid taking risk in their lives is to be honest with your true desires, have the courage to move forward and know that you will pass through any tough spots.
This wisdom will also serve each of us when the unexpected and uncontrollable circumstances occur in our futures.
