A Force for Good is the compelling biography of Gisela Warburg Wyzanski, a Woman of Valor. Gisela worked with her mentors, Henrietta Szold, the founder of Hadassah, and Chaim Weizmann, Israel’s first president, to rescue and resettle thousands of Eastern European children earmarked for annihilation at the hands of the Nazis. This inspiring story is told through a treasure trove of letters and documents carefully preserved by Gisela and recently discovered by her daughter, Anita Wyzanski Robboy, the book’s author. Readers will travel with Gisela through Germany, England, the United States, and the land now known as Israel as she raised awareness and funding for her exhaustive efforts to save a generation of Jews. They will learn about both the horrors of the Holocaust, and the tremendous power of one person to make a difference in the lives of others for generations to come.
