From Broken Glass: My Story of Finding Hope in Hitler's Death Camps to Inspire a New Generation
by Ray Flynn Steve Ross Glenn Frank Brian WallaceFrom the survivor of ten Nazi concentration camps who went on to create the New England Holocaust Memorial, an inspiring memoir about finding strength in the face of despair.On August 14, 2017, two days after a white-supremacist activist rammed his car into a group of anti-Fascist protestors, killing one and injuring nineteen, the New England Holocaust Memorial was vandalized for the second time in as many months. At the base of one of its fifty-four-foot glass towers lay a pile of shards. For Steve Ross, the image called to mind Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass in which German authorities and civilians ransacked Jewish-owned buildings with sledgehammers.Ross was eight years old when the Nazis invaded his Polish village, forcing his family to flee. He spent his next six years in a day-to-day struggle to survive the notorious camps in which he was imprisoned, Auschwitz-Birkenau and Dachau among them. When he was finally liberated, he no longer knew how old he was, he was literally starving to death, and everyone in his family save for his brother had been killed.Ross learned in his darkest experiences--by observing and enduring inconceivable cruelty as well as by receiving compassion from caring fellow prisoners--the human capacity to rise above even the bleakest circumstances. He decided to devote himself to underprivileged youth, aiming to ensure that despite the obstacles in their lives they would never experience suffering like he had. Over the course of a nearly forty-year career as a psychologist working in the Boston city schools, that was exactly what he did. At the end of his career, he spearheaded the creation of the New England Holocaust Memorial, a site millions of people including young students visit every year.Equal parts heartrending, brutal, and inspiring, From Broken Glass is the story of how one man survived the unimaginable and helped lead a new generation to forge a more compassionate world.

After a night of bad decisions, an overtly drunk college student got behind the wheel of a car. The consequences were catastrophic. Fish has lived through sensational failure and eventual success.

From Fortress to Freedom
by Deborah L.W. RoszelFrom Fortress to Freedom encourages readers to engage in a relationship with God devoid of guilt or shame. In this book, Deborah Roszel recounts how she had long struggled to be good in the eyes of God and man. Responding to a childhood abuse incident, she had developed strict rules and high standards designed to protect her from harm. She effectively built a fortress around herself, a safe but increasingly restrictive haven. When God knew her heart was ready, He turned a friend's words into a powerful tool to demolish her fortress and show her that His plan for her involved more freedom than she had ever imagined. The freedom astonished her. She had not realized how much she had been controlled by fear, guilt, and shame in what she thought had been a life of faith. The joy of release left her almost speechless with wonder, but the Lord poured words into her to help her understand, resulting in healing for her and insight for others. Deborah wrote almost every morning for many weeks, and forty of these writings are collected here in From Fortress to Freedom. It is the author's prayer that this book will help lead readers to their own faith filled with freedom.
