Overview

The son of a shoe peddler immigrant, Aaron Levine graduated from Harvard, fell in love and married a nice Jewish girl from Bermuda and enlisted in the US Army in World War II. He was soon deployed to France and Germany as a military intelligence officer dedicated to helping fellow Jews who had stayed in Europe. The atrocities that he witnessed in the death camps and the Nazi prisoners of war that he interrogated deeply affected Aaron. His letters to his wife expressed the horrors he saw and the emotional scars they left. Their life-long dedication to Jewish advocacy and education was the result. Years later, Aaron's legacy of letters and family artifacts inspired their daughter to dedicate her life to the Jewish community, Holocaust education, interfaith collaboration, and cross-cultural understanding.The Liberator's Daughter is a history-rich story of Deborah Levine's family, with humble beginnings in Boston and the British island of Bermuda and stops along the way in Paris, Cincinnati, Chicago, Manhattan's lower East Side, and Tulsa. Today, Deborah is headquartered in Chattanooga, where she continues her work of tikkun olam, repair of the world, in the Southern tradition of storytelling.
