About the Author Rabbi Leon Thorne was born in Schodnica, near Drohobycz, the area of Eastern Galicia he describes vividly in It Will Yet Be Heard. He was ordained a rabbi at the age of 19, continued his religious studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary of Breslau, and earned a Ph.D. at Wuerzburg in philosophy and history. He survived the Holocaust and became a chaplain in the Polish army upon liberation in 1944. Rabbi Thorne emigrated to the United States in 1948, and in 1961, published the first part of his memoir as Out of the Ashes. Now newly introduced, expanded, and with a previously unpublished second half, It Will Yet Be Heard offers rare insight into the Holocaust and its aftermath in Poland.
