  • General Info
General Information
Description
Fanya Gottesfeld Heller is a noted Holocaust survivor, author and philanthropist. Born into a traditional Jewish family in a small village in the Ukraine in 1924, she and her family hid from the Nazi death squads with the help of two Christian rescuers. Heller recently reissued her autobiography under a new title, Love in a World of Sorrow. Originally entitled Strange and Unexpected Love: A Teenage Girl's Holocaust Memoirs, the book is part of suggested reading for courses at Princeton University, University of Connecticut, and Monmouth University, among others. Her writings have also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and Jewish newspapers nationwide. Heller obtained a B.A. and an M.A. in psychology from The New School for Social Research, and honorary degrees from Yeshiva University and Bar-Ilan University. She has also studied art history at Columbia University, philosophy and literature at the New School, and family therapy at the Ackerman Institute. In 1998, the New York State Board of Regents awarded her the Louis E. Yavner Citizen Award in recognition of her contributions to teaching about the Holocaust.
