We Never Lost Hope by Naomi Litvin is a powerful and haunting memoir and love story about her family’s lives before, during, and after the Holocaust. Told in five indelible voices, the book gives a you-are-there punch and a moving immediacy. Litvin recreates her parents’ incredible love story of a Holocaust survivor and an American Jewish GI who landed at Normandy. This book reminds readers that genocide can happen anywhere but that the strength of hope endures, even in the most horrific conditions. Naomi Litvin leaves all students of the Holocaust in her debt…every memoir adds to our knowledge, both of what happened, and of the emotions and feelings of that terrible era, and this memoir is no exception: it calls out to be read. -Sir Martin Gilbert, Winston Churchill’s official biographer, and author of eighty-one books. Naomi Litvin is a freelance writer and lives in Northern California.
