Description
A Jewish girl saved in infancy by a Catholic couple during the Second World War discovered her true heritage after the war, but remained with her adoptive family. In her early twenties, however, circumstances forced her to escape Poland and begin a new life in America, where she married and raised a Jewish family.
With her husband’s unexpected death, at 53 years old Lucia Weitzmann embarked on a spiritual journey that began with confronting God at the Western Wall. Mystical experiences then began to populate her dreams and writings, leading her to discover who she really is and what her life purpose is about.
Inspired by his mother’s experiences and emboldened to share its messages of hope and healing, Lucia’s son tells her story in The Rose Temple.
Advance Praise
The Rose Temple blends history and memoir with a social plea as it follows a woman, Lucia Weitzman, who not only survives the Holocaust, but becomes a spiritual messenger in a journey through turns of events that take readers far from the usual Holocaust autobiography. The story is told by her son, Mitchell.
Lucia's identity was erased during the Nazi era and her long journey to reclaim her birthright and heritage led her in unexpected directions. Readers are carried along a passionate ride that seeks answers, connections, and meaning from life. The queries into purpose and meaning elevate The Rose Temple from a Holocaust memoir to something much more.
The Rose Temple is a good choice for those seeking something more than a Holocaust history or memoir: something steeped in spiritual exploration and, ultimately, a journey to arrive at the crux of the meaning of life. While it's a heady read that ultimately asks readers to examine their own lives, it's also fueled with the passion of an individual's journey and thus is accessible to a wide audience: very highly recommended as a standout read in the literature of Holocaust survivors and Jewish spiritual exploration. (D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review.)
