| JACOB'S
RESCUE begins with a Passover seder. Elderly strangers, Alex and Mela,
non-Jewish guests at the seder, lead eight-year-old Marissa to ask her
father a fifth question. "How do you know them?" Jacob, prodded by his
brother David, closes the Haggadah and tells her, "This year we'll tell
the story not from [the Haggadah] but from here," pointing to his heart.
"This is also a true story, only more recent." Jacob tells of David's and
his rescue when they were children in Poland, a rescue in which this elderly
couple were the heroes. This book tells the actual story of Jacob and David
Gilat (Gutgeld) and their heroes, Alex and Mela Roslan. (Barbara
Goldenhersh, PhD, Assistant Professor, Harris Stowe State College,
