This book really resonated with me. Siegfried, (Siggi)Wilzig, a Holocaust survivor came to America penniless, yet accumulated a massive fortune from sheer resilience, persistence, determination, brains, and unceasing faith in God. For a person who lost 59 family members to the Holocaust, including his parents, 4 siblings, a young niece & nephew and still remain a man of religious belief struck me as inspirational & motivational. 🙌🏻#Hoopla

Cinfhen His attitude throughout life was so moving @BarbaraTheBibliophage instead of focusing on all the negatives he constantly gave thanks to God for all that he endured. Just a true believer in seeing the positive in every situation 3y

Cinfhen It‘s really inspiring @TrishB I‘ve shed some tears several times, not because it‘s so sad, but because Siggi is/was so resilient (edited) 3y
