edit data

Bernice Lerner is the author of "All the Horrors of War: A Jewish Girl, a British Doctor, and the Liberation of Bergen-Belsen"--a dual biography of her mother, teenaged survivor Rachel Genuth, and Brigadier Glyn Hughes, a high ranking officer in the British Second Army who, in mid-April 1945, suddenly found himself leading rescue efforts at the notorious (and then largest) concentration camp.

Bernice's first Holocaust-related book, "The Triumph of Wounded Souls," profiles seven survivors who, after having missed years of formal schooling, went on to earn advanced degrees.

Bernice’s Quotes

“History, whether personal or collective, is the best guide to our individual and collective lives. We need always to compute who--or which action, in self or others--deserves praise, and which deserts principle and deserves criticism and condemnation.”
― Dr. Michael Aeschliman
