About the Book
Everyone has a story. Here And Not Forgotten: Stories Of A Wiser Generation uncovers the fascinating, complex personal histories of eight elders from age eighty-three to ninety-five, all residents at the Madlyn and Leonard Abramson Center for Jewish Life in Horsham, Pennsylvania. Lilly, Esther, Samson, Sylvia, Gertrude, Herman, Milt and Gene are distinct individuals with over 714 years of life experience.
Each of their stories has its own colors, textures, and patterns, but together they create a quilted illustration of a generation quieted by the effects of age. They’ll make you laugh at their jokes, cry at their tragedies, and hopefully will encourage you to look at the elderly in a way you may have never attempted before.
