“WALK FORWARD,” A Different Schindler's List Revealed

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ohio - Oct. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Cleveland, Ohio – Revealing a different Schindler's list and fulfilling the promise made to her father, Rosa Raskin tells the story of her immigrant family and her father’s hope to find his lost child. The purpose of the book, WALK FORWARD, is to continue to uncover information about her older sister, Eugenia Chimowicz, a blond-haired, nine-year-old girl last documented alive in concentration camp Stutthof on September 3, 1944.

Using letters from her Uncle Alfred, Head of Metals #1 in the Lodz Ghetto, who selected each member family of the “last 500,” and those of her father verifying the stories young Rosie heard as a child, she details the history of the family, including events before, during, and after the Holocaust. Jewish family members are caught in a hellish spider's web. As pawns in the chess game between Hitler's assistants, the group designated as metal workers, survive the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, and Stutthof, the last place where two young mothers and their four children were seen alive. Born in Germany after the Holocaust, Rosie describes the courage of her mother, Louise, who enabled the family to continue forward in the complicated journey to the United States as displaced persons.
