February 27, 2023 by Post

A True Story of Might, Miracles and Triumph of the Human Spirit

February 27, 2023 [St. Petersburg, FL] — The Florida Holocaust Museum (The FHM)is excited to bring award-winning author, Roslyn Franken to the Museum for a presentation and discussion on her 5-star rated book Meant to Be on March 1, 2023 from 6:30 – 7:30 pm. This exclusive presentation has limited seating. RSVP/Registration is required via The FHM’s website www.TheFHM.org/events.
In Meant to Be: A True Story of Might, Miracles and Triumph of the Human Spirit, author Roslyn Franken reveals the unforgettable true story of her parents, John and Sonja Franken – two unlikely survivors of World War II. While John, a young Dutch naval recruit in the Dutch East Indies, is captured at sea by the Japanese and must fight for his life as a POW, Sonja is taken by the Nazis from her home in The Netherlands to endure the horrors of Auschwitz and a series of concentration camps. Remarkably, John survives the Nagasaki atomic bomb and, Sonja escapes death in the gas chambers on three separate occasions.
After suffering endless tests of faith and fortitude at the hands of their brutal captors, the war ends and the two are brought together in the most extraordinary of circumstances to rebuild their lives as one based on love, trust, and commitment.
