"A Force for Good is a must-read for anyone interested in Holocaust history, Jewish heritage, and the enduring impact of one woman's courage and compassion." -- BookLife Review
A Force For Good is the biography of the heroic life of Gisela Warburg Wyzanski, a courageous young German Jewish woman who leveraged her wealth and family connections to save countless children from annihilation at the hands of the Nazis. This compelling story is told through a treasure trove of letters and documents carefully preserved by Gisela and recently discovered by her daughter, Anita Wyzanski Robboy, the book's author. It outlines Gisela's tireless efforts to rescue European children, place them in appropriate settings in their parentless journey to new lives in the land now known as Israel.
Readers will travel with Gisela through Germany, Palestine, England, and the United States, and will meet her mentors -- some of the most powerful and influential Jewish leaders of this historically significant pre-WWII to post-WWII era. They will learn about both the horrors of the Holocaust and the tremendous power of one determined and courageous person to make a difference in the world.
