 In Beneath A Stormy Cloud: Moving On Without Her the  stinging reality of the effects of the Holocaust on the second  generation is illustrated as Naomi Litvin attempts reorientation to the  world at large after losing her mother, a Romanian Holocaust survivor.  In her second book, Beneath A Stormy Cloud: Moving On Without Her, Naomi  Litvin knits a jigsaw puzzle-like anthology of her mother’s poetry with  her own juxtaposing responses. Within these pages Naomi’s thought  provoking commentary is a deeply personal struggle with her grief. Edith  was her mentor, heroine, and best friend. Mother and daughter share the  stage in this creative, special slice of history. 

Set in modern day Israel, 2014, before and during the Gaza War,  Natasha Bernard has immigrated to the Holy Land. Natasha is in search of  answers to a mystery revealed to her by her mother, on her death bed,  which involves the survival of Israel. Seventy years after the end of  World War II a plot is set to destroy the Jews to mimic the disaster of  Masada. The Masada Faktor was conceived by Hitler in his last days.  While in Israel, the Gaza War breaks out, complicating Natasha’s new  life.
