IF YOU HEARD WHAT ADAM HEARD

ADAM SHARES THE STORY OF HIS GRANDMOTHER, SYLVIA LIPPMAN WEINKRANZ, WHO WAS FROM A CLOSE, OBSERVANT, JEWISH FAMILY OF SHOE-MAKERS IN KOZIENICE, POLAND. AT THE START OF THE WAR, SYLVIA, HER PARENTS, AND HER SISTERS WERE IN FORCED LABOR IN THE KOZIENICE GHETTO, WHERE SYLVIA AND HER SISTER MIRA WERE ULTIMATELY SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILY. THEY SURVIVED TOGETHER IN HIDING UNTIL THEY OBTAINED KEM CARDS, HID THEIR IDENTITIES, AND SEPARATELY GOT JOBS AS “NON-JEWISH POLISH DEFECTERS” IN OTHER CITIES. THROUGH A SERIES OF MIRACLES, SYLVIA, HER SISTER MIRA, AND THEIR YOUNGER SISTER ROZIA SURVIVED THE HORRORS OF THE HOLOCAUST. AT THE END OF THE WAR, SYLVIA MET HER HUSBAND, WHO WAS ALSO A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR, AND THEY BUILT A FAMILY THAT CONTINUES TO GROW AND THRIVE TODAY.

IF YOU HEARD WHAT ADAM HEARD, YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET.
