These are the years that define us, and that teach us the most important lessons about the world we live in. These are the years we must cherish and protect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn August 1939 Raya Goldtwig’s secure and happy childhood as the three-year-old daughter of a prosperous Jewish shop owner in Warsaw came to a sudden end. Together with her father, mother and brother, she fled across the border to Soviet territory, enduring terror and uncertainty but also building a new home and a new community. When Nazi Germany invaded, though, Raya and her family again had to flee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst such a terrible backdrop, Raya’s story of love, community and wonder is a testament to the human spirit and the power of hope in the face of tragedy.
