Tomorrow Will Be A Better Day
Tomorrow Will Be A Better Day
Oskar Knoblauch and Jyll Harthun
“Tomorrow will be a better day”, is what my mother said to me and my siblings almost every day while living through the nightmare of the Holocaust. The day after we escaped, I made the decision to start a new life and choose happiness. Please join my granddaughter and host, Jyll, as she surprises me with requests to tell my stories of love, hope, curiosity, and conviction from life after the war that she and other family and friends would like to hear again. I am thrilled to share these stories with you for the first time. Welcome to the family! Shalom!
