The Tower of Life: Restoring Humanity to the Victims of the Holocaust

The Tower of Life: Restoring Humanity to the Victims of the Holocaust

Featuring Chana Stiefel

Wednesday, September 25 | 7:00pm ET | On Zoom

Join 3GNY, Michael Mantell, and the Rededication Project September 25 for an incredible book talk with author Chana Stiefel as she discusses her award-winning children's book, The Tower of Life: How Yaffa Eliach Rebuilt Her Town in Stories and Photographs.

Children’s book author Chana Stiefel will share the story behind her award-winning picture book biography, The Tower of Life: How Yaffa Eliach Rebuilt Her Town in Stories and Photographs, illustrated by Susan Gal, published by Scholastic. Professor Yaffa Eliach was one of the only survivors of her Polish shtetl, Eishyshok. She became a world-renowned Jewish historian and expert on the Holocaust. As a member of President Jimmy Carter’s Commission on the Holocaust, Yaffa’s mission was to restore humanity to the victims of her town. In 1993, she created the Tower of Faces, a soaring photographic exhibit in the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. In her talk, Chana will discuss her inspiration for writing the book, archival photos from Yaffa’s extraordinary collection, as well as Yaffa’s lasting legacy of hope and resilience during these difficult times.
