Edition of three books

​

This book was inspired by the nightmare of October 7, 2023 perpetrated by Hamas terrorists who flooded into Israel for the singular purpose of killing, dismembering, raping and taking innocent Israeli hostages. The Israelis have not been seen or heard from ever since despite pleas from humanitarian organizations. The few released hostages have given accounts of a depraved captivity where they are starved, tortured and raped. They are kept in abject conditions and often moved from dark tunnel to dark room. This book is made to keep their plight alive in our minds and to hasten their release.
