Through the voice of his mother, Ray Kaner - a fiercely intelligent young woman who endured four years in the Ldz ghetto, brutal slave labor, and near death in Bergen-Belsen - Dr. Charles Kaner reconstructs her harrowing passage through the Holocaust and the sustaining power of sisterhood that helped her survive.Interwoven with his own journey as a second-generation survivor, Kaner traces how Ray transformed unspeakable trauma into purpose. In postwar America, she became a quiet but determined force in the preservation of Holocaust memory, helping to establish one of the nation's earliest survivor-testimony projects and laying crucial groundwork for what would become the Museum of Jewish Heritage. At once a son's act of devotion and a profound historical reckoning, Was It Just a Matter of Luck? asks not only how one woman survived, but how survival itself became a legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52180383826208,"sku":"NEW9493418766","price":28.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71v5R42ZDSL.jpg?v=1786544456","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/was-it-just-a-matter-of-luck-a-family-the-holocaust-and-the-founding-of-a-museum-holocaust-survivor-true-stories-9493418766","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
