My book is about escaping from the Holocaust in the 1930's. It describes the Kristallnight on November 9, 1938, the wanderings through Belgium, France and Switzerland with my parents and our final admittance to the golden land of America after 10 years of stress and anxiety. Not long after our arrival my mother passed away and I took care of my father's house and went to my last year of High School, College and graduate school, impeded by post traumatic stress, yet working steadely in a laboratory to earn my keep.
My proudest moment was becoming an American citizen and being able to be free to move about, earn my keep and go to school all at the same time. I love this country with all my heart and soul.
After earning a PhD and becoming a scientist, I married, had a daughter and worked in my husband's lab, enjoying the work, going to scientific meetings and watching our daughter grow. This dream come true could have never happened anywhere else and I am fully aware of the gift of "Our Forefathers" to all of us, despite having to struggle with the former stress-induced problem.
The ultimate goal of my writing this book is to show what has been accomplished since 2009 by the liberal progressives, how our beloved country is being destroyed and our cherished Constitution is being trampled on for the sake of dictatorial power, which now makes me fearful and anxious all over again, as if I had been transported back to Nazi Germany. I fear for America, I fear for Israel and all the people who love this country and still look for the American dream, which will be no more. I pray for a miracle from God and the coming together of "We The People" to get our precious freedom back. The title of the book is "Confessions of a Touretter" by Isabel Cohen. Please do not be put off by the title.
