The award-winning book that is inspiring
readers with the courage and triumph of two unlikely survivors
of World War II who found everlasting love, against all
odds, as told in their daughter's words.
In
MEANT TO BE, author Roslyn Franken
reveals the unforgettable true story of
her parents, John and Sonja Franken -
two unlikely survivors of World War II.
While John, a young Dutch naval recruit
in the Dutch East Indies, is captured at
sea by the Japanese and must fight for
his life as a POW, Sonja is taken by the
Nazis from her home in The Netherlands
to endure the horrors of Auschwitz and
other Holocaust concentration camps.
Remarkably, John survives the Nagasaki
atomic bomb and miraculously, Sonja
escapes death in the gas chambers on
three separate occasions.
How did John and Sonja
survive their captivity? How did they
meet to find enduring love? What did
Roslyn learn from her parents that can
help us all live better lives and help
make our world a better place? The
answers to these questions and more are
what make up the powerful story of MEANT
TO BE.
A feature film adaption
of Roslyn's book is currently in
development.

book for their students to read.
