Donation of book, Holocaust Memories of Rosy Mandel

WGT presented this book to Richardson Public Library and the Dallas Holocaust Museum in memory of WGT member Neal McAfee, a man who kept his promise to remember.  These stories chronicle Rosy's life during WWII and also during her imprisonment at the Dossinkazerne. She was a rose that survived in a garden of death.
