Lee Goldman Kikel Discusses “Perseverance”

“Lee Goldman Kikel will join us to talk about her late father Melvin Goldman and how she came to share his meaningful story in the book Perseverance: One Holocaust Survivor’s Journey from Poland to America.

It was in the late 1970s, over thirty years after most of his family was murdered during the Holocaust that Melvin Goldman sat down alone to record his life story. Then, twenty years after his death, Goldman Kikel, Melvin’s only child, found her father’s recordings. It was then she learned that he hoped his story would find its way into the world. In Perseverance, Goldman Kikel fulfills her father’s dream. She tells his story.
