'Nechama Werdiger has had a long and fascinating life.

'Growing up under the Soviet Union’s harsh antisemitism, she endured the war years as a child in Uzbekistan where thousands of Jews sought refuge from the Holocaust.

'She and her family managed to escape to Poland and France before arriving in 1949 in Australia. Through hard work, a strong sense of family and unswerving faith, she and her husband Nathan (Nossom) built a successful new life in Melbourne.

'Generous, wise, kind and caring, Nechama will inspire you with her life story.' (Publication summary)
