The Last Survivor: Lessons From the Past and the Dying Dream of Freedom

Esther and Harry Praw were both Holocaust survivors who had a perilous journey to find freedom in the United States.

They were fortunate to make it to the shores of the U.S. with nothing more than hope. The opportunity they found in the U.S. eventually allowed their children and grandchildren the chance for a better life and success. Sadly, more than 70 years after they arrived on the U.S.S. Hersey to the New York harbor, the "American Dream" is fading away as the immigration laws and policies become more and more dysfunctional and rigid. Xenophoboia and Holocaust denialism has increased in recent years and with the generation of Holocaust survivors leaving us, it raises the following questions:

What exactly is the “American Dream”?

Does that “Dream” still exist?

Will the memory of Holocaust survivors persist or fade away like the American dream?

This book primarily follows Esther's journey in her own words and compares her immigration story to the stories of immigrants who are trying to find that same dream today.
