À propos de l?auteur

Evelyn Rauch is a second generation survivor. Her parents escaped Nazi Germany before World War II began. Evelyn grew up feeling different from her peers but never new quite why. Only after her mother's death did it become clear why her home was different than her classmates and friends.

She has led discussion groups on the subject of the Holocaust. Evelyn wrote this book as a tribute to her mother and grandmother and those that went on living and struggled to survive the Holocaust. Evelyn wrote "Surviving Steffi" to create a wider understanding of why relationships with parents are sometimes difficult. Her hope is that the reader will be inspired to look deeper into the reasons behind their own troubled relationships. Evelyn is a mother and grandmother. She started her own design firm and has been an interior designer for thirty years. She is now pursuing her life long passion of painting and writing.
