520    "The story begins with Yaffa Eliach, a spirited young girl
       who grows up in a vibrant, happy 800-year-old town in 
       Poland, filled with family life and rich traditions. 
       Yaffa's grandmother, who receives a gift of a camera from 
       America, becomes the village photographer, and takes 
       photos of all the family events: weddings, bar mitzvahs, 
       and family gatherings. And on the Jewish New Year, the 
       villagers send photos to their relatives overseas to wish 
       them a "Gut Yontif"! But one dark day, the town is 
       invaded. And quickly the once happy home to 5,000 Jewish 
       people is uprooted. Yaffa survives the war and becomes a 
       Professor of History and America's foremost Holocaust 
       expert. And when President Jimmy Carter invites her to 
       create an exhibit for the new National Holocaust Museum in
       Washington, DC, she travels around the world hunting down 
       her grandmother's photos taken of people who fled from her
       beloved town, Eishyshok, along with their stories and 
       memories. This breathtaking revival of the town's 
       collective spirit, which is a permanent exhibit at The 
       National Holocaust Museum in Washington DC, will inspire 
       all who read it"--|cProvided by publisher.
