And There Was Light [Paperback] Lusseyran, Jacques

In the first twenty years of hs life Jacques Lusseyran was faced with two of the darkest of all human fates: he was physically blinded at the age of eight and ten years later suffered ll the worst horrors of human evil in a Nazi concentration camp. From each of these experiences was born an intensity of light and joy that took him beyond the darkness while never rejecting the outer facts. We who have eyes and yet are blind in so many other ways may read and rejoice in his vision. - Helen M. Luke
