America’s Soul in the Balance<\/span> by Gregory J. Wallance, to be released in April 2012 (now released), uses resources from our Ruth Glasberg Gold’s\u00a0 book Ruth’s Journey<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Wallance says:<\/p>\n

“The origin of America\u2019s Soul in the Balance traces to the newspaper reports several years ago of discovery of letters written by Anne Frank\u2019s father in his unsuccessful attempt to obtain visas for his family and himself to the United States (briefly described in my book).<\/p>\n

Intrigued with the notion that American immigration policies might have doomed Anne Frank, but dissatisfied with the treatment in various works on the American response to the Holocaust, I decided to write a book that focused on the State Department. But I also wanted the reader to understand the consequences of the State Department\u2019s behavior, especially as regards the Romanian Jews deported into Transnistria.<\/p>\n

My research led me to Ruth\u2019s Journey: A Survivor\u2019s Memoir, which, through the
\nstruggle of 11 year old Ruth Glasberg (now RuthGlasberg Gold) to survive in Transnistria, told the story that I wanted to capture in the book. I introduced myself to Ruth at a Holocaust commemoration at the United Nations (where Ruth spoke so movingly about her experience that a silence descended upon the audience that would have made a dropped pin sound like a clash of symbols).<\/p>\n

She graciously agreed to assist me in telling her story, even though it meant resurrecting the details of searingly painful memories. I owe Ruth a special debt–she is a remarkable woman, hers is an extraordinary story, and if America\u2019s Soul in the Balance serves no other purpose than to bring her story to the attention of anyone who may not have heard it, I will consider it a success.”<\/p>\n
