Finding upon their return home that all Jews had been exterminated, they emigrate to Sweden. The book brings to life a remarkable young woman who struggles with existential war challenges to help her family survive, while unflinchingly pursuing her goal of becoming a physician.

Regina served for many years as a pediatrician in Paramus, New Jersey, before succumbing to cancer in 1973. This story has all the ingredients of a best-selling novel, yet it recounts real experiences of a young woman, who overcomes the horrors of the Holocaust and its aftermath, and achieves her dream of becoming a physician....

| dance medicine physical therapy: Dance Medicine & Science Guide Adriano Bittar, Matthew Wyon, Valéria Figueiredo, Derrick Brown, Aline Haas, 2021-01-18 The inaugural actions of the Brazil-United Kingdom Dance Medicine & Science Network (BRUK NET) emerged through the organization of the symposium The Potentials and Challenges of Research in Dance Medicine & Science: building innovation collaborations between the United Kingdom and Brazil held in Goiânia, in 2016. In this bilingual Portuguese-English book, 23 leading researchers/authors from the BRUK NET write about their experiences in this field. The idea of the book is to share part of their knowledge and to build paths and theoretical, conceptual and methodological constructs around DMS, from where visibility, access and sustainability could develop. The desire for an interinstitutional, interdisciplinary, collective and supportive cooperation has enabled us to create a book of cross-cutting contexts and diverse views. The demand for DMS services and knowledge is growing. It requires that professionals from different backgrounds; dance, health, education and many others, ethically reflect and debate over the breadth and rigor necessary for the growth and valorization of this field of study. |
