Discover 'Resilience: A Story of Persecution, Escape, Survival and Triumph,' a powerful Holocaust memoir that embodies the spirit of survival and hope. Written by Inge Woolf, this book recounts her harrowing journey from a prosperous Jewish family in Vienna to becoming a beacon of strength in New Zealand. As the Nazis marched into her childhood home in March 1938, Inge's family made a daring escape to Berlin and eventually to England, under the guise of a vacation. Bravely concealing their Jewish identity, they faced the challenges of being impoverished refugees after World War II, and ventured to New Zealand for a fresh start. Here, Inge met her soulmate, Ronald Woolf, and together they built a renowned photographic studio in Wellington. With profound resilience, Inge overcame personal tragedy when Ron was tragically killed in a helicopter crash, dedicating her life to education and advocacy. This compelling memoir highlights Inge’s pivotal role in establishing the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand, where she educated thousands and fought against antisemitism and racism. 'Resilience' is not just a Holocaust story; it's a testament to the power of hope, identity, and the fight for a just society that resonates with readers today. Join Inge Woolf on her inspiring journey of courage and triumph. This paperback edition, published by the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand, spans 200 pages, with dimensions of 170 x 240 mm. Available now for insightful readers seeking to understand the impact of history on our present. Delivery available worldwide.

Resilience is a Holocaust story and a New Zealand story. Born to a prosperous Jewish family, Inge Woolf witnessed the Nazis marching into Vienna in March 1938. To escape certain death, the family audaciously boarded a train to the heart of Nazi Germany – Berlin – and from there caught a plane to England, pretending they were going on holiday. Hiding their Jewish identity until after World War II, Inge and her family began a new life as impoverished refugees. A move to New Zealand signalled new beginnings. Inge met the love of her life, Ronald Woolf, and together they created the country's pre-eminent photographic studio. They settled in Wellington, raising two children when tragedy struck again with Ron killed at age 57 in a helicopter crash in 1987. Resilience is ultimately the story of a woman who harnessed her past and used it to encourage a more cohesive, inclusive society. In her later years, Inge was pivotal in establishing the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand and was its founding director. She educated thousands on the Holocaust and the dangers of antisemitism, racism and prejudice, often observing that hate starts small. She was often called on by the media to comment about antisemitism and would speak freely about the need to remember the lessons learned from the Nazi genocide. Inge Woolf received a QSO in 1992 for services to the community. She was a finalist in the 2019 Women of Influence Awards – Community Hero category. Inge Woolf died in 2021 aged 86.

Bed Sheets
Color: Bright White Striped, Size: Queen
I’m really happy with these bed sheets. They feel soft and comfortable against the skin, and the crisp white color gives the bed a clean, fresh look. The fabric is lightweight but still feels durable and well made. They fit the mattress nicely and stay in place throughout the night. After washing, they came out looking great with no noticeable shrinking or loss of softness.

Great sheet set
Color: Blush Pink, Size: Full
Super soft right out of the package. Thin material but should be perfect for cool nights. Blush pink is the perfect shade of pink. Love this set. Highly recommended especially at this price point.

Perfect Lightweight Sheets for Sensitive Hot sleepers
Color: Cream, Size: Queen
These sheets are soft, thin, and absolutely perfect for me. I have advanced CRPS and erythromelalgia, so I deal with severe nerve burning and heat sensitivity and cannot tolerate being overheated at all. I keep our AC between 56–64 degrees constantly, and since our studio is small, it usually stays around 61–63. These sheets have been a lifesaver for sleep. They are lightweight, breathable, and don’t trap heat, which helps me avoid extreme flare-ups and the intense burning pain I deal with. I'm bedridden so I need to be comfortable. They feel comfortable against my skin and don’t worsen my symptoms when I’m already in a lot of pain and look nice, wash nicely. For the price, they are also a great value. I’m genuinely grateful to have found something that helps me rest more comfortably. Will be buying more for us and gifts.

Great set of sheets
Color: Blue Pinstripe, Size: Twin
These microfiber sheets are incredibly soft and comfortable, especially for the price. I purchased the blue and white set for my daughter’s bed, and she loves them. The colors are bright and exactly as pictured. They fit the mattress well, don’t slip off the corners, and wash up nicely without pilling or fading. The brushed microfiber feels cozy and lightweight, making them great for year-round use. Overall, a great value and I would definitely buy another set.
