Worlds Torn Asunder

A retired rabbi, educator, and lecturer, Rabbi Dov Edelstein's memoir - Worlds Torn Asunder - chronicles how faith and religious values helped him survive the Holocaust despite the harshest conditions, privations, and degradations. It is a forceful and compelling narrative that seeks to educate and speak out against the inhumanity that mankind is capable of perpetrating. Worlds Torn Asunder, which was also published in German, has been used as a textbook at various schools, including at the Department of Christianity at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. The school adopted it for ten consecutive years in a course for graduating seniors entitled "The Quest for Wholeness."The Rabbi has shared his inspirational personal story and the book's message of tolerance with hundreds of mostly non-Jewish high school students and church audiences across the U.S. and in Canada. During these encounters the Rabbi opened eyes, minds, and hearts, and in the process left jaws agape with his riveting personal narrative of loss, determination, and recovery.
