‘To me, hard times are like hide-and-seek: where is the solution, where is the hope? We can never give up looking for these things because they are just waiting to be found.’
Gidon Lev, a ninety-year-old Holocaust survivor, has lived an extraordinary life. At the age of six, he was imprisoned in the concentration camp of Theresienstadt. Liberated when he was ten, he lost at least twenty-six members of his family, including his father and grandfather.
But Gidon’s life is extraordinary not only because he is one of the few remaining living survivors, but also because of the lessons he has learned over nearly a century. His enduring message is one of hope and opportunity – to make things better. By sharing his timeless, simple beliefs and truths, Gidon reminds us that we have the power to gradually improve what is in front of us and leave something better behind.
His life is a lesson on how to do it, even in the face of astonishing adversity, and Let’s Make Things Better is the signature of an indomitable spirit.
‘By sharing his inspiring life story, Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev reminds us that the human spirit is greater than even the most severe and unjust trauma. Through one of history’s darkest nights, he preserved his brightness and warmth’ – David Von Drehle, author of the New York Times bestseller The Book of Charlie.
