Jacob's Courage (2007, Mazo Publishers, ISBN 978-9657344248) is a tender coming of age love story of two young adults living in Salzburg at the time when the Nazi war machine enters Austria. This compelling historical novel presents scenes and situations of Jews in ghettos and concentration camps, with particular attention to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz. It explores the dazzling beauty of young love, powerful faith and enduring bravery in a lurid world where the innocent are imprisoned and enslaved. From desperation and despair, to unforgettable moments of passion and beauty, Jacob’s Courage examines a constellation of emotions during a time of incomprehensible brutality.
