"From the horror of the Holocaust, Luna Kaufman emerged determined to improve our world. An inspiring story from an incredible woman."
Hon. Thomas H. Kean, Former Governor of New Jersey
"Luna Kaufman has lived an uncommon life, which she has chronicled in these memoirs. The strength of character that enabled her to survive imprisonment during the darkest time of the 20th Century shines through even today. It is evident on the pages of this book. A remarkable life, a remarkable woman. I am very glad she chose to share her incredibly rich life with us in these pages."
Monsignor Robert Sheeran, President Seton hall University
"Luna's Life is a poignant memoir of a strong and determined Holocaust survivor who makes remarkably significant contributions to the Jewish and Christian communities -- and to Jewish-Christian dialogue and mutual understanding -- in the postwar period and until this very day. Rather than remain bitter, Kaufman felt that her wartime experiences sparked a need to teach tolerance and mutual respect."
Jerusalem Post
"The book tells us much about the human capacity not only for evil, but, more importantly, for goodness. And they can teach us much about what it means to be a Christian. Tales of Holocaust survivors can challenge, uplift Catholic readers."
Eugene J. Fisher, retired associate director for ecumenical and interreligious affairs at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
"A beautiful portrait of a quietly heroic life. This book is testimony not only to one extraordinary, very brave woman, but to the potential of the human spirit in all of us."
Rabbi Irving Greenberg, Chair Emeritus U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council
"I am thrilled that Luna's Life will reach a wide public. I see forged in these pages her strength, wisdom and concern for building a better world, one more beautiful and humane because she lived in it."
Reverend David R. Bossman, Ph.D. Exec Director, Sister Rose Thering Endowment, Seton Hall University
"This is a remarkable book by a remarkable woman, all the more compelling for its transparent integrity. Honest, personal testimonyÖof a woman who left the prison camps with the conviction that life is too short to be wasted on hatred."
Michael Redmond, Lifestyle Editor, Princeton Packet
"From the horror of the Holocaust, Luna Kaufman emerged determined to improve our world. An inspiring story from an incredible woman. I highly recommend this book."
Dr. Paul B. Winkler, Executive Director, New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education
"(Kaufman) managed to turn the story of the tragic loss of most of her family and her torturous journey from concentration camps to freedom into a triumphant account of a life well lived and of reconciliation between Jews and Catholics."
