Beschreibung
Quest for Eternal Sunshine chronicles the triumphant, true story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame both the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of unrelenting depression to live a life of deep peace and boundless joy.
Born into a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland in 1924, Mendek grew up surrounded by extreme anti-Semitism. Armed with an ingenious mind, he survived three horrific years in Nazi slave-labor concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered in Auschwitz. After arriving in America in 1946—despite having no money or professional skills—his inventions helped revolutionize both the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Remarkably, Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing innovative ways to heal his heart and end his emotional suffering.
After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the intimate details of his healing journey.
Quest for Eternal Sunshine—the extraordinary result of a posthumous father-daughter collaboration—tells Mendek’s whole story and is filled with eye-opening revelations, effective self-healing techniques, and profound wisdom that have the power to transform the way we live our lives.
An inspirational biography of a Holocaust survivor overcoming depression and PTSD. An essential new addition to Jewish Holocaust history.
Rezensionen
s transformative journey to light, but also her belief in the imperative to remember and to document history. Not only is this the story of one man and one family’s life, it is a deeply moving testament, a love story, from a daughter to her dad.”
<br>—Patrice Vecchione, author of
<i>My Shouting, Shattered, Whispering Voice: A Guide to Writing Poetry and Speaking Your Truth</i>
<br>
<br>“In one of his poems, Mendek Rubin asks, ‘What if I asked a growing tree to show me the way?’
<i>Quest for Eternal Sunshine</i> is a growing tree—it shows us the way past memory and conditioning to the present moment, that ‘magical world’ which, Mendek assures us, is waiting for us all.”
<br>—Elliot Ruchowitz-Roberts, author of
<i>White Fire: Poems</i>
<br>
<br>“I wish I’d known Mendek Rubin, but reading this book is the next best thing. It’s the story of his lifelong mission to find joy, meaning, and love after enduring the hell of Nazi concentration camps. He was able to literally change the way his mind worked. I found myself underlining and writing stars in the margins, so I could go back and savor his wisdom and his humor. His story is humbling, riveting, and inspiring. I’m certain it will take its place as a gemstone of Holocaust literature.”
<br>—Sara Davidson,
<i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of
<i>Loose Change</i> and
<i>Joan: Forty years of Life, Love, and Friendship with Joan Didion</i>
<br>
<br>“This father and daughter quest to repair the traumatized mind enhances our knowledge. We are grateful that Mendek’s story did not die with him.”
