My Adorable Editor at Fontis Verlag for the German Version of Auschwitz #34207 - The Joe Rubinstein Story

Words cannot express how much I appreciate my editor, Anne Helke, of the publisher Fontis Verlag (Bern Switzerland), for the German edition of Auschwitz #34207 - The Joe Rubinstein Story! In the fall of 2019, Fontis published Joe’s story in German. Anne and her team worked tirelessly to make this happen. I am so grateful! We are now hearing from German readers around the world about the impact Joe’s story of hope is having on them. Their powerful letters often bring me to tears. I share them with Joe who is 99 years old. He loves hearing how his life is helping others. Joe and I thank you, Anne, from the bottom of our hearts! (And you really are adorable…inside and out!)

Holocaust Survivor Joe Rubinstein Chose Joy. So can we!

Joe’s advice for the world, “Love life, Love God, Love Each other …that’s all there is!”

Despite having lost nearly everything a person can lose, Joe never gave in to despair. Instead, he chose joy. At age 99, Joe still does! So can we. Joe called today. He is recovering from recent surgery and is doing well. He was as upbeat and positive as ever, talking about how grateful he was to still be alive. His wife Irene added, “I’m aking great care of Joe.” I know she is! Joe says often that if it weren’t for Irene he would have been six feet under long ago.
