My father Rabbi Yacov Yisroel Zuber lived through the Bolshevik revolution in Russia, WWI in Russia, the dictatorship of Stalin, the Nazi era- living then in neutral Sweden- surrounded by Nazi-occupied countries- and then to meet a tragic untimely death in Boston, Mass., the Cradle of Liberty, yes, that was a great tragedy.

In my book Beyond the Dollar Line I have included material/history about my father. And in It was evening It was Morning there is much history of Scandinavia in the aftermath of WWII and a great deal of history of the life of Rabbi Zuber.

I was just going to reference your book, “Beyond the Dollar Line” I have referred the very inspiring stories to many people who have taken the passages to heart.
