Sylvia Ruth Gutman

Sylvia’s memoir, coming out this month, shares her journey from the depths of a painful, dark time in the history of the Jewish people in Europe to her life today in Framingham, Massachusetts. Torn from her parents at the tender age of three, Sylvia’s traumatic experience reverberates with us today.
