N2  - From Darkness to Light is a compilation of personal testimonies of six Holocaust survivors, written in a short story format. The book walks readers through their life experiences prior to the Holocaust, during the Holocaust, their liberation, and establishing themselves in Israel. Each story is told in their own words, culled from hours of personal interviews and/or through their children, so the world can have first-hand knowledge of what happened to these individuals. The survivors came from different parts of Europe, and not one story is like the other. Now in their 80s and 90s, they still recall in detail their darkest memories. Amid immense pain and suffering, they managed to overcome every hurdle they encountered under the Nazi regime. When these stalwart individuals were liberated, no matter what further anguish and obstacles they faced, they realized their dream was to make aliya to Israel. They settled in the Holy Land as visionaries and pioneers to build the Jewish state, which itself was undergoing wars and difficult economic times. Their love for the Jewish homeland and their creation of families that embody children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren nullified Hitler’s aim to annihilate the Jews
