Synopsis

In Speaking for Souls, the author details her interest in the Holocaust, the mystical journey that led her to writing and speaking about the importance of Holocaust Remembrance and Education, the relationships she has developed with Holocaust survivors, and the life-changing family secret that emerged through genealogical research that in part explains why she is drawn to this cause. Drawing on her own experiences from this journey, she encourages others to listen to their intuition to uncover their own calling as she did hers. She also encourages readers to communicate with elder family members and explains the importance of genealogical research into one’s own family. The book further implores readers to fight Holocaust denial with education and sharing the legacies of Holocaust survivors and victims, so the effects of rampant hatred in the past can provide lessons for today. For anyone with an interest in the Holocaust, spiritual journeys, or the magic of genealogy, this book is for you.Speaking for Souls details the journey of how someone who is not a historian, Holocaust survivor, the child of a survivor, or even Jewish chose to dedicate much of her life to the cause of Holocaust Remembrance and Education, overcoming a lifelong fear of public speaking to do so.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Debbie Callahan has had a successful middle and high school teaching career in which she has received multiple Teacher-of-the-Year nominations and press recognition for her work with supporting active military, veterans, and Holocaust survivors. Additionally, she has taught college as an adjunct instructor. Most recently, however, she has been fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing. Her first book, Lest We Forget: Lessons from Survivors of the Holocaust led to a life-changing trip to Auschwitz in Poland. Following the trip, her writing took on a deeper and more emotional tone, and the focus of her recent projects shifted from the very basic introductory level Holocaust overview seen in Lest We Forget: Lessons from Survivors of the Holocaust to even more personal and powerful accounts in Speaking for Souls. Currently substitute teaching part-time, she is spending many hours researching and working on multiple projects related to Holocaust Remembrance and Education. In addition to Speaking for Souls, she has one completed project on which she collaborated with a Holocaust survivor, and three other book projects in varying stages of completion. Each book tells the account of an individual Holocaust survivor. After recently relocating from Florida, Debbie currently makes her home in the Downeast area of Maine with her husband Scott.
