My Journey
After years of research and emotional journeys to Italy, I was ready to tell the lost story of good amidst evil in a war-torn Italy. A story of Italian concentration camps, families torn apart and re-united. A story of survival and goodness in a World War II Italy and miraculous discoveries in the New York City area over six decades later. "It Happened in Italy" is newly published and I can't wait to tell the story.

Dear Elizabeth Bettina,
I happened to find your book in a bookstore and, after looking it over, I immediately bought it. I myself am a holocaust survivor. I steadily eluded the Germans in Belgium and France, then crossed the Alps in Sepyember 1943 into Italy, with many of my compatriots. Although the Italians had surrendered to the Allies, it was the Germans whom we met there, and so I had to endure the war until the Germans retreated from Cuneo, Italy, on April 25, 1945.
I have written a book about what happened to me in those years. It’s title is: “One Step Ahead: A Jewish Fugitive in Hitler’s Europe.” I would like to send you a signed copy of it, if you give me an address.
With my congratulations,
Alfred Feldman

Dear Ms. Bettina,
My sister attending your book signing in Nashville, TN. she bought your book and sent it to me. I am looking forward to reading it. She said you are traveling and are interested in small venues as well as the large ones like Nashville. I would like to invite you to Temple Emanu~El in Longview, TX. We are very small synagogue. If you are interested please let me know and I will try and make arrangements.
Thank you
Laura

Dear Elizabeth,
I was captivated by your book and your passion to tell this story. It is a wonderful story full of redemption and hope in the midst of everything horrific. Loved the personal style that you interjected throughout. Great read!

Loved your book. I blogged on it for thomas nelson. As an Italian American it was a wonderful insight into the ‘good’ of humanity when we usually only hear of the evil.

Dear Bill, Thank you so much your comments. I found this “good story” fascinating and it needed to be told.
People need to know this story.
Thank you again,
