One day, Joel realized that his mom had a profound story to share, leading him to pen a book about her real survivor story—how she persevered through the Holocaust and other challenging times while always remaining optimistic.
MIAMI BEACH - Karmela and Joel Waldman, a dynamic mother-son duo, affectionately call themselves lovingly dysfunctional.'Did you always have such a loving yet combative and fun relationship? Tell me a little bit about that,' asked CBS News Miami's Lisa Petrillo.'That's an excellent description. I never thought of the word combative. Yes, that's true,' said Karm.
'Last summer, Joel, Karmela, and their families went abroad to revisit the places where Karmela lived and hid from the Nazis during World War II. At just four and a half years old, she and her mother escaped capture by finding shelter with a Christian doctor who then took them to a nunnery to hide.'He was an MD, a righteous gentile, a Croat. And he let us come into his house even though he knew he was in mortal danger. And that same night he placed me alone with nuns.
