One Bridge to Life is written so one can vividly see what some people did to survive. Dr. William Samelson is gifted in that he writes in eloquent language with hope and faith. His description of his grandfather, shot and dying in his arms, is very moving for the lesson Dr. Samelson learns.The incredible testimony of the Rabbi dying in the Synagogue burning testifies that there is more than this world existance. The vision of a burning building, a rabbi exhorting his people to hope, remembrance and love of God is indescribable. I cannot get this picture of a prophet aflame, yet speaking in love, out of my mind. Dr. Samelson has retained his faith, hope and remembrance. He teaches at a university, and his lectures cause us to remember, to hope, to love and to act. The biggest challenge is for us who read, or hear Dr. Samelson, to do something within our sphere of influence. Remember and yet, forgive: this is his legacy. This book is a "must read" and among the best I've read, for the author lives out his "One Bridge to Life." That bridge is love.
