SUMMARY:Book Club: It Will Yet Be Heard
DESCRIPTION:A Polish Rabbi’s Witness of the Shoah and Survival\n  \n\n\nDr. Joanna Sliwá will join the LBI Book Club in January to discuss the book It Will Yet Be Heard: A Polish Rabbi’s Witness of the Shoah and Survival by Leon Thorne. \nNobel laureate Isaac Bashevis Singer once described Dr. Leon Thorne’s memoir as a work of “bitter truth” that he compared favorably to the works of Tolstoy\, Dostoevsky\, and Proust. Out of print for over forty years\, this lost classic of Holocaust literature now reappears in a revised\, annotated edition\, including both Thorne’s original 1961 memoir Out of the Ashes: The Story of a Survivor and his previously unpublished accounts of his arduous postwar experiences in Germany and Poland. \nRabbi Thorne composed his memoir under extraordinary conditions\, confined to a small underground bunker below a Polish peasant’s pigsty. But\, It Will Yet Be Heard is remarkable not only for the story of its composition\, but also for its moral clarity and complexity. A deeply religious man\, Rabbi Thorne bore witness to forced labor camps\, human degradation\, and the murders of entire communities. And once he emerged from hiding\, he grappled not only with survivor’s guilt\, but also with the lingering antisemitism and anti-Jewish violence in Poland even after the war ended. Harrowing\, moving\, and deeply insightful\, Rabbi Thorne’s firsthand account offers a rediscovered perspective on the twentieth century’s greatest tragedy. \n(Rutgers University Press) \nLeon Thorne was a rabbi from Schodnica\, near Drohobycz\, in Austrian Galicia. He trained at the Breslau Seminary. Following the Holocaust\, he served the post-war Jewish community of Frankfurt as a rabbi before immigrating to the United States\, settling in Brooklyn\, New York. \nAbout Our Guest: \n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Joanna Sliwá is a historian at the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference) where she also administers academic programs. Joanna is a historian of the Holocaust and modern Polish Jewish history. She is the author of the award-winning book\, Jewish Childhood in Kraków: A Microhistory of the Holocaust (Rutgers University Press\, 2021) and\, with Elizabeth (Barry) White\, of The Counterfeit Countess: The Jewish Woman Who Rescued Thousands of Poles during the Holocaust (Simon and Schuster\, 2024)\, which has been translated in several languages. A new volume that Joanna co-edited with Christine Schmidt and Elizabeth Anthony\, Older Jews and the Holocaust: Persecution\, Displacement\, and Survival\, will be published in 2026 (Wayne State University Press). She previously worked at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee\, and at the Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. She has taught Holocaust and Jewish history at Kean University and at Rutgers University and has served as a historical consultant and researcher\, including for the PBS film In the Name of Their Mothers: The Story of Irena Sendler \n\n\n\n\n\nPurchase the book \nDirectly from the publisher \nAmazon
