Sol Lurie was born in Lithuania.
As a child, he survived six concentration camps during the Holocaust in World War II.
His tale is told in the book “Life Must Go On: The Remarkable Story of Sol Lurie, the Kovno Ghetto, and the Tragic Fate of Lithuania’s Jews” - published by Simon & Schuster.
The book was written by his daughter Bea, who lives here in Chattanooga - and Dr. Steven Leonard Jacobs, a professor in religious studies at the University of Alabama.
For this episode of “Scenic Roots,” here is our conversation with Bea.
