He wrote a book about the story of brave Armenians struggling under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. He knew that if people didn’t hear about this story, then history could repeat itself. Unfortunately, his prediction came true during the Jewish Holocaust. Yet, his book inspired countless Jewish people as they faced enormous tragedy and fought to survive. It’s time to learn about Werfel’s incredible story.
