PRAISE FOR WHITE ANGEL "This book is a wonderful tribute to the multifaceted life of an extraordinary grandmother. Written by P'nina Seplowitz with great respect and much love, it traces the story of a woman who was exposed to the most horrific manifestations of human cruelty and who emerged with powerful strength to create a new world, who responded to the assault of death with an outpouring of life. The book is warm, touching and beautifully written; it will inspire its readers, young and not so young alike." - RABBI JACOB J. SCHACTER, Yeshiva University "White Angel is a thought provoking work of Holocaust literature. Helen Weinberg's remarkable story elicits the sorrowful burden of a broken nation and the glimmer of hope that existed with the establishment of the State of Israel. White Angel is an essential staple for any home or school." - RABBI DOV LIPMAN, Member Israeli Knesset "P'nina Seplowitz does a terrific job of telling an inspirational, yet tragic story, through the eyes of her heroic grandmother. This book is a must read for all those looking to be inspired by the strength of the human spirit." - RABBI STEVEN BURG, Simon Wiesenthal Center
