| Summary: | Rabbi Leon Thorne, the author of this unusual Holocaust memoir, was born in 1907 in Schodnica in Eastern Galicia. After studying philosophy and theology at several universities, he was ordained at the age of nineteen. Initially written in German, his memoir first appeared in English in 1961 under the title Out of the Ashes. A later edition was published in 1976; before Rabbi Thorne passed away in 1978, however, he made some additions and further edits to the original manuscript. This new volume, It Will Yet Be Heard, is the result of that effort to bring his full testimony to light. The result is, indeed, a testimony that transforms its readers into witnesses. |
